Nobody wants to be around someone who is mean and boring! Do you want to be a cool person who is fun to be around?
Steps
-
1Like yourself for who you are. Don't complain about yourself, like saying that you are too fat or too stupid or anything like that. It will make others think the same thing.
-
2Have a nice hairstyle. There's no need to go crazy with colours or anything, but a stylish hairstyle is a good touch, like bangs, spikes, etc.Advertisement
-
3Dress nicely. You don't have to go overboard. If you are a girl, maybe have a couple of bracelets, a nice watch, or a locket. Try styling your hair differently often. For boys, you could have a golden chain, a silver piercing or a single black bracelet, but nothing too girly.
-
4Have good shoes. It might seem unimportant, but shoes really show someone's personality. Converse, Vans, K-Swiss, Adidas, and Nike are all really popular shoes.
-
5Have good hygiene. This is the most important. Shower daily and use deodorant. There is no need for you to smell good, just do not smell at all; But a faint hint of perfume would be nice. Wash your face and try to have clear skin, but don't freak out over a few pimples.
-
6Be social. Join extra-curricular activities to meet new people, and hang out with everyone. Don't just stick with a couple of friends. Treat everyone like your friend.
-
7Do not back stab. It will most likely get you into trouble and give you a bad reputation.
-
8Compliment people. It doesn't have to be extreme, say maybe, "nice hair" or, "I love your shoes!" or, "You have a great taste in ___."
-
9Have your own personality. If you are different, show it. If you like lots of Punk and Metal, for example, instead of the latest pop hits, it doesn't matter! Everyone is different. Respect that.
-
10Respect people's beliefs and cultures. Do not bully or make fun of anyone.

QuestionSometimes I just cant stop myself from backstabbing others. How can I avoid doing this in the future?
Community AnswerTry surrounding yourself with people you have something in common with. By doing this, you will be less tempted to do backstab them. However, this is more about you than them; spend time working on dealing with your insecurities, anger and resentment, in order to avoid needing to backstab in order to feel better about yourself or to avoid having to communicate honestly. Learn to think mindfully about your relationships with others, to learn to accept their weaknesses and strengths instead of feeling threatened by them. -
QuestionI am very awkward and quiet, and have few friends. What should I do?
Community AnswerFor starters, build better relationships with those few friends you have. They can definitely help you feel cool, and having fun is usually not a problem for close friends. If you can be a cool and fun person with your friends, other people will notice you and want to be your friend too. -
QuestionIf my friends are making fun of me, what should I do?Community AnswerYour best bet is to talk to them about it. However, true friends will respect and support you; if they aren't doing that, forget about them and move on. Try to hang out with other people and befriend people who genuinely like you for you.
