<p>How would you describe the difference between someone who is well liked, and someone who is popular?</p>
<p>popular = everyone knows you.
well-liked = everyone likes you.</p>
<p>I agree with blu gatorade. Also, for the most part not the well-liked people are not the most popular though they are well known, and the popular people are usually not well-liked and have a good amount of enemies.</p>
<p>It’s like a lovely little Venn Diagram.</p>
<p>Popular People: Everyone knows you, because your goal is to get your name out to other popular people and game the system. Your name then trickles down to the “lower classes” and everyone figures out who you are. This is best achieved by some sort of scandal.</p>
<p>Well-Liked People: Not everyone knows your name, but everyone who has met you, seen you, or brushed your shoulder loves your personality. You’re sweet and you’re not boring about it either. People want to hang out with you, and you likely have lots of genuine friends.</p>
<p>Both: Screw y’all, I don’t know how it’s done (:. You are both kind and socially successful. You go to parties and, though you’re not the one dancing on tables or under football players, you dance a little, talk a little, and leave with some phone numbers (girls and boys, you’re just that awesome).</p>
<p>you mean I’m just that awesome lol</p>
<p>I think a well-liked person will have mostly good friends, while a popular person will have some superficial friends and many clingy admirers who can’t think for themselves.</p>
<p>I think I’m well-liked by the people that like me. Haha. Because there are many popular people who know me and want to form a superficial relationship with me but I push the superficiality away.</p>
<p>Popular: With the “cool” kids socially - substance user
Well-liked: Essentially what the first response said; perhaps popular, not necessarily</p>
<p>This is based on my observations at school, so I feel qualified to classify the “popular” kids in the manner I did. Its not an assumption, to say the least.</p>
<p>i am neither…not my fault though</p>
<p>Weeeeiiird…I was just talking about this today with my friends! Like, the exact same subject: everybody likes Girl A but she doesn’t get invited to parties, and Girl B is a biotch but gets invited to everything because she parties hard. Who’s more popular? And does it matter? (The answer to that one is obviously no, but we still talk about it anyway).</p>
<p>Lol, my observations clearly apply to more than my school.</p>
<p>thanks guys</p>

popular=not this thread.</p>
<p>I’ve never seen so many bumps in HSL.</p>
<p>Well liked- most who know you likes you</p>
<p>Popular- most do know you</p>
<p>Simple.</p>
