I can bet that in 5 years you wont remember 75% of the people that you wanted to be more popular than.
As long as you have friends be happy.

Also, why are you concerned with getting respect from people who want you to fight and do criminal things? It would seem to me those people's respect isn't really worth much.

Also, don't confuse fear with respect. They aren't the same.

I think he needs better friends in general. Breaking the law isn't cool. Being yourself is.

Crap...I'm starting to sound like an afterschool special.

But you are 100% correct, Opu.

You don't need to go out and do things that are not 'you' and you do not need to hang out with people that you don't really like that much. In the end, people will either like you for the person that you made up or drama will start.

You want people to like you for who you are so you don't have to put on an act the entire time that you're around them because sooner or later you will not be acting any longer and you will become this person that you created and later on down the road it will gradually get worse.

Not only that, but even though your personality becomes altered, it's still never really the truest version of you, so you end up being pissed off, angry, miserable, depressed, whatever all the time because you are not being true to yourself.

Finding peace with who you are instead of always wishing to be something else is one of the greatest achievements anyone can reach in life.

you could just force yourself to make small talk with random people, you know, or be more outspoken in class. Try and talk to people you don't normally talk to much in class etc.
