Here is the the thing. When people say "am I popular? " my opinion is that I couldn't care less because I don't know anything about you. Nor I couldn't care less, because I don't know what the person has been through in life.
Being popular is just a thing where others can notice you and so you can get attention by other people.
I personal want to be well liked so I don't get attention by others. Me personally, I don't need friends, because I got family that will stick by my side what ever I go through. Compared to a friend, they will not always be there for you.
