How can I get more people to like me?

[A]

I am a nice guy and have about 4 good friends, but I feel like not that many people at my high school like me. For example, the only people I ever hang out with are those 4 other guys, and I never get many likes on a facebook status or picture. I am sort of awkward, but I really just wish I could be friends with more people or be more respected in my school. Please give me some advice on this.

•Hi well here are 4 starters to help u on the road to a more POSITIVE image and will help u overcome those conversation blanks & low self- esteem issues Ciao♥
***************************************…
1. BE SELF-AWARE AND DEVELOP A POSITIVE SELF-IMAGE
When you trust yourself, are self-aware and can frame yourself in positive terms, your confidence soars
2. TAKE CONFIDENCE CUES FROM PEOPLE YOU ADMIRE
You need to fake it ’til you make it! Consider the way a confident person behaves—observe a friend, relative or colleague
3. FOCUS ON YOUR STRENGTHS, NOT YOUR WEAKNESSES
If you have a realistic understanding of your own strengths (we all have our strengths) and apply that to your most important and meaningful goals, you have a powerful tool with which to build self-confidence.
4. BEWARE OF BARRIERS TO ACHIEVING YOUR OBJECTIVES
If frustrating obstacles or negative feedback cross your path, don’t give up! Developing confidence takes a little persistence. Set realistic expectations: those lacking self-confidence often see an everyday barrier as a signal to throw in the towel.
For example, if in conversation and it goes quiet or u say dopey things then LISTEN and ANSWER accordingly about subject don’t expect to be the life of the group right away—this unrealistic expectation puts too much pressure on you. A good talking strategy is to give others your full attention. This not only shifts your focus away from thoughts like ‘this is a disaster’, but also makes people around you feel wonderful—a two-way confidence booster!

Same as if you WANT TO BE MORE POPULAR AT SCHOOL/COLLEGE then BE INVOLVED in school/college team activities like via sport, drama, debating classes, in other words being active not only helps makes you popular as long as your not arrogant this also helps stop you from being bullied/harassed.

Now go and let others see your no shrinking violet YES!!…… Candice ♥
