I want them to like me :(

"True friends accept us for who we are."

You're young (yes, 15 is stillr relatively young), you have a lot of time to make "true friends".

Be yourself and be confident in that. If the other girls you talked about are interested in being your friend, they will be. But to gain friendships at the cost of losing who you are isn't worth it.

Which may not make sense, but from my experience in life, that is the conclusion I have reached.

Well, I need to know, what exactly are you hoping to gain from talking with them? Obviously their too stuck - up to notice anyone else other than themselves, these people cannot be friends, maybe colleagues, but not friends..
Your beautiful, young, talented and alive, forget about them, I'm sure you have friends of your own, hang out with them, If people cannot appreciate you for who you are, then, I think it's best you dont appreciate them..

I understand exactlly how you feel! Honestly, i thought everybody would,
i thought at one time in their lives everybodys wanted to be popular?
Is it like you just wish you could be them? As if they're so perfect. It's basically like mean girls "as much as it causes you pain being with them, its better being with them, then not."

Yes, but most of us aren't stupid enough to stop eating and buy expensive things just for the sake of making friends (who, by the way, sound like a bunch of stuck-up bitches in this case).

I mean no disrespect to the original poster, but I honestly can't understand the logic behind her actions. =/


Yes, I am being "mean" I guess.

[Doniv]

Nah, I think your just frustrated

Your talking about how you want to be friends with these girls, bu you haven't mentioned the friends you already have? What are they thinking about the way your acting? Don't go starving yourself and changig your appearance to fit in, most of these girls are actually friends because they like each other for who they are, not because they all wear makeup and orange paint! It just so happens that because they have similar personalities they put his stuff on.

I think part of the reason why you're having trouble at the moment is because you're in awe of them and treat them as more important than you. Be yourself and they will respond better. I don't want to sound horrible but it also sounds like you have self esteem issues? Like the only way you are worth something is by being popular. This really isn't the case. Please try to be true to yourself, and if that Is by being friends with these girls, fine, just as long as it is right for you.

Self esteem issues?
You care too much what everybody thinks about you.

I've tried talking to them but they look at me like i'm weird. Lately ive been having spray tans and i've bought expensive make-up but i still don't think im pretty enough to be there friends, ive also stopped eating and im finally starting to tone, so then i have more chance of them liking me . What else can i do?

Well What I think you should stop doing that in the long run. and eventually when you are with these people you would rellize that they are a bunch of jerks...and your not that person blah blah blah and that you start making fun of the people they are making fun of. But if you REALLY want to be apart of thier group then you should dye your hair the color you most see. AND i recommend reading the book Zombie blonds okay

Is the original poster still around?

I think, though, everyone cares about what others think to a degree.
