Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I’ve often speculated about what it means to be “popular” and have alot of friends because there are some people out there who make it out to be such a big deal and an incredible talent to become popular and be liked by a large range of people.
However, this is a personal observation that I’ve made and I find that it isn’t really that much of a talent being “popular” and a people’s person. Sure, you do have to have extroverted traits to be liked but I’ve known people who started out awkward (and I mean really awkward, no offense) and reached that status due to the fact that they’ve honed their skills or experimented with various different personality traits, quips, mingled with several crowds, until they have formed their personal identity for themselves. They have practiced through social interaction the ability to develope a certain degree of charisma by assimilating pop culture or mainstream mass values, developing their social skills through repeated practice, and have a sense of what others would deem “appropriate” and “not appropriate”… at the same time, they surround themselves with a niche of people who support a particular image that they create due to similarities. Of course, there are basic criterions to achieve this, which would evidently be good extroverted personality, appropriate grooming, lack of awkwardnesss, a degree of sportsmanship, but also sometimes a self made “player” status.
I would imagine that there is a significant interplay between experience, personality dispositions, assimilation to particular societal image and values, as well as a certain degree of charisma. Just a thought here. Wondering what you think of this. I might be wrong though. lol.

My friends are all scholars from UC schools, one from Caltech, and my boyfriend is graduating with honors this week. The people I hang with are ridiculously intelligent and I admire them greatly. One is getting his PhD, another has a really fancy job, and another is studying engineering. And I’m only on my second year at a community college, studying nursing with A’s, B’s, and a couple C’s (forget USC or UCLA after those two C’s).
I feel sort of inadequate. I really look at this group as my main circle of friends. They’ve been so inclusive of me, but the reality is that they are all far more educated than I am. That shouldn’t matter so much, but sometimes I feel left out. They tell me I’m the good looker of the group and have the most charisma, and that’s my niche. My boyfriend says I have incredible empathy and kindness. But I feel like the commoner among the elite. One of my friends pushed me to sign up to double major and to get A’s so that I could go to USC and explore more options. But you know what, I tried and it just hurt my GPA and I felt lost. When I decided to just focus on the nursing, I felt like I was back on track and the future was clear.
I used to do creative stuff like photoshop, and I did graphic design for small businesses, I even have done a bit of freelance editing for actors to try and expand my repertoire. But in the end, I didn’t excel, and I just feel like I’m just your average guy who likes taking care of people and living a little more simplistically with average goals. I just want to be average old me. Never was the brightest, but always smart. Good grades, but not amazing. But a lot of appreciation for life, and a sometimes a bit creative. Always there for others, and always trying to be moral and good. Nursing just makes sense for me. I doubt they judge, but I feel like… I wish I could be like them, I suppose. Well, how do I deal with these feelings of being “less”? Is it okay to just want to be a nurse. Thanks for reading! I know this was rather long, but it was from the heart.
