Many people strive to become popular. Popularity is not synonymous with pretense, wanting to judge others, or being unique. Popular people are respected and admired. Be yourself, be friendly, and participate in the company to gain popularity.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Be You

1. 1 Think about your reasons for wanting to be popular. Assess your desire to become popular before you start spending time, energy, and resources on it.
   • Do you want to become your own? Seeking attention? Are you trying to rebel or want to change?
   • Even if you try very hard to please others and do everything perfectly, the risk of not gaining popularity in the eyes of society still remains. What happens if you never get popular? How do you cope with such a misfortune? What other aspirations will help you to know your true face?
2. 2 Be yourself. Popularity does not require conforming to social norms or re-shaping your personality. Strive to turn into the best version of yourself - to become the kindest, bravest, most real of all possible manifestations. Explore your strengths and weaknesses to build your confidence. Become a courageous, passionate, interesting person. If you reduce social anxiety, then people will be drawn to you.
   • Explore your beliefs and who you are in isolation from the rest.
   • Don't change your personality for the sake of being in the company or gaining sympathy.
3. 3 Don't give up your views. Never betray your personal beliefs and views in exchange for popularity. Accept what you love and value. Set new trends to avoid repeating others.
4. 4 Stay humble. Don't underestimate the power of humility. It is difficult to communicate with those who take themselves too seriously. Add light and lightness to your life! Likewise, no one likes people who constantly brag about their accomplishments, money, or possessions. It is much better to hear compliments and congratulations from others.
   • In the event of a mistake or misconduct, do not be afraid to laugh at yourself.
   • Don't brag about what you do if you've done something incredible or done a favor.
   • No need to defiantly show new clothes and other things.
5. 5 Monitor your appearance. Learn to take pride in your appearance to improve your social standing and to change the minds of those around you. You don't have to wear expensive or trendy clothes. Try to always look appropriate, think over the outfits and hairstyle, watch out for personal hygiene. Create your own unique sense of style.

Part 2 of 3: Be Friendly

1. 1 Expand your social circle. Not everyone loves popular people, but everyone knows them. Expand your social circle to increase popularity.Make an effort to meet and spend time with new people.
   • Smile and greet everyone around you.
   • Sit with a new person at lunch time.
2. 2 Don't judge or hurt others. In an effort to gain popularity, you do not need to recoup others. It is important to remember that a kind and sympathetic person will win more friends over than an angry and insecure person. Try not to judge people, but always come to the rescue. Don't tease the weak, but treat them in a friendly way.
   • Be friendly not only to your friends. If you create a group and despise outsiders, then you will not be able to make new friends. Try to earn the respect and affection of others.
3. 3 Provide help and support. Help people achieve their goals and enjoy success to build a good reputation. The need for attention or the need to be the best should be put aside. Start inspiring and helping others to succeed. Surprise and delight people with responsiveness.
   • Offer help with homework or a paper.
   • Stay after training to work out with a teammate.
   • Learn to enjoy others' achievements sincerely and openly.
4. 4 Find a way to deal with people who don't like you. Hooligans, ill-wishers, angry and envious people will be present in your life, regardless of the level of popularity. Sometimes we know them by sight, and sometimes we don't have the slightest idea about them. A full and healthy life is possible only if (even without popularity), if you learn how to behave correctly with haters.
   • Get rid of ill-wishers. Stop hanging out with a friend who constantly belittles you.
   • Know how to stand up for yourself. Show that you will not tolerate bad attitudes.
   • Do not take other people's words personally. Bullying does not reflect your personality, but the personality of your abuser. The problem is with him, not with you.

Part 3 of 3: Get Involved in Public Life

1. 1 Try new things. New emotions and experiences are a great way to build confidence and meet new people. Don't be afraid to agree if you are offered something new. Put aside all worries and doubts so that you can use every opportunity to expand the boundaries of your own life. As you dive, you may develop a new hobby or even a new friend.
   • Go to new restaurants.
   • Sign up for art courses or sports classes.
   • Learn to play a musical instrument.
2. 2 Attend events and parties. Sports matches and parties are a great way to meet new people and become more popular. Such events allow communication in a calm and relaxed environment.
   • Meet and chat with new people at the party.
   • Get to know other students at a school-wide event.
3. 3 Become a member of a sports team, club or group. Get involved in the community life of your school to expand your social circle and gain popularity. Some teammates can develop strong relationships. Your successes will attract attention and admiration of those around you.

   • Start playing in a band.
