[quote=Anonymous]I was popular but not necessarily "cool," although I recall wanting to be. I was told by multiple people in multiple circumstances that I had the ability to move from group to group, have friends and be comfortable with a very wide range of people. I usually had 30-40 friends at a time from middle school on. But in third grade, I recall having very few friends. I complained about it to my mom, who told me to just ask people to talk about themselves and to listen well. That $hi+ worked like magic on other kids, and suddenly I was at least friendly with everyone. Even today, I am 4 people's best friend, have at least 15 close friends, and a wider circle of around 50 people who I communicate with regularly. Most people have neither the time nor energy for this. I think even as kids, a lot of them find this level of social interaction unsustainable.[/quote]
