I was somewhat popular in high school because I was the moody pretty boy who didn't gave a shit about anything.

I think that's really cool. Also I didn't notice you had triple doubles before I started replying.

For me it was probably high school. It was a pretty nice school and I was admired for having good grades, being smart and pretty good at drawing, I suppose.

I was popular in elementary school for being the tall kid.
I was popular in middle school for being "good" at Japanese.
I was popular in high school for being generally funny.

College, no friends, mostly because of lack of human contact. I skipped lectures because I learned more from the texts, didn't join clubs because there was no mahjong (and the go club was filled with assholes), cooked my own food, so I didn't go to the cafeteria. By junior year I pretty much lost contact with everyone from high school because fuck "catching up."
fucks given: 1, I would've liked someone to discuss music with. That was around the time I started going to 4chan and /mu/

From first grade to fourth grade. I was the genki boy who would tease everyone and come up with awesome ideas to do stuff. Then I had a period where the guys made fun of me for looking too much like a girl. Then my popularity soared yet again when I managed to beat the shit out of those guys. Then puberty came and the guys started "losing" interest in playing gameboy or making hard mode runs (with our own rules) for certain games so that girls wouldn't think they weren't cool. As for the girls, they became insufferable pieces of shit, seeing as most mothers tell their daughters the reason they bleed once a month from their crotch is because they reach adulthood a lot, lot faster than boys. I didn't give a damn about 3DPD and here I am, browsing /jp/ as I study medicine.

8th grade, only in one class. Everyone thought I was hilarious for some reason so I sort of embraced it and actually broke out of my awkward shell just for a bit. A few girls even flirted with me but I was still way too socially inept to do anything with that. It all ended after that year was over though.

Yes in my later high school life there was a point where there were 3 girls into me at the same time. I'm not really sure what happened to cause it since I've always been the awkward guy but it was a pretty uncomfortable situation to be in despite how its shown off in anime. I when proceeded to go out with one of the girls for a period of 3 years before NTR and terrible pain ensued.

I was fairly popular in elementary school. Kids followed my stupid antics on the playground, people talked to me, people voted for me in whatever I did, and I was generally all around impressive to my peers.

Once middle school started I had no friends and never really made any either. It only got worse from there to the point where I've been a total hermit since graduating high school(about 10 years ago).

When I was in elementary school the kids who were good at soccer and basketball were the popular ones. One day I was in the gym with a few of them and, being the autistic fuck I am, was always trying to fit in and impress them.
There was this pink ball on the floor about the size of a volleyball and I picked it up. It was a large gym with basketball nets on either side and giant hanging lights from the ceiling. So, I threw the ball up, and when it came down I kicked it.
It flew up, hit the lights, and bounced into the basketball goal. Swish. I was popular for a week.

As a young teenager I was part of the "in crowd" and I probably made a lot of other students in my grade feel awful when our circle alienated them or made them the butt of our jokes. I don't know why, but I had an epiphany one day and decided that I didn't want to be popular if it meant hurting others. I stopped talking to all my old friends and didn't make many new ones. It feels good not having to worry about social standing, but it feels especially good knowing you aren't making other people feel like shit.

When I was in highschool we were changing into our gym clothes in the exercise room and some guys were tossing a volleyball around. It got away from them and rolled over to me and for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to pick it up and kick it as hard as I could upwards even though the ceiling was around 10 or so feet high. It hit a light fixture and busted the fluorescent bulb, I had to sweep it up while everyone else went out into the gymnasium.

Its those memories that make me realize why I ended up as the pariah I am.

Growing up I was for some reason popular with little girls. They would always enjoy sitting and talking with me, despite me being older than them. This was a constant thing throughout my entire school life and (I suppose) even now. When I think back on it I could have had a loli girlfriend pretty easily back then and nobody would have cared much.

Anyway, I felt most popular when I was a class clown in a group of other class clowns in middle school.It was definitely fun to have accomplices who would always help set up humorous situations. Some of the stuff we pulled still makes me laugh.

Before I was a class clown I was a literal straight A student and friends with other straight A students, many of which were in programs for gifted children. Even today when I'm interested in something I soak it up almost too easily.

Now I'm just a NEET whose primary loves in life are cuisine and loli.

My dad died and then I got very depressed for a few years and lost all willingness to do anything other than go on the computer, sleep, or watch TV. Medication just made me slow and fat. My mom didn't care much for me at that time because she was busy with her new husband and new kids so I was made to live in a relative's house for the few years before I could legally stop attending school.
