I've never been too concerned with popularity, everyone has always seemed to like me though. Maybe if I wasn't very well liked, then I'd feel the longing to be popular. The fact is, people seem to like me more than I like them. Sometimes it's a chore, a life filled with sycophants.

you shouldn't worry too much about being popular, because you end up not staying true to yourself and it can bring a lot of sin depending on the crowd you join, being true to yourself and Jesus is more important and much more comfortable because you don't have to worry about your image and about pride and all sorts of baloney and nonsense.

Popularity is harmless if: people happen to gravitate toward you for who you are without you even having to try to be liked, or without sacrificing who you really are or your personal truths. And if you don't get caught up in trying to keep people's approval against your better judgment.
It is harmful if you are opposite of the above.
Nothing wrong with being liked.
Just be careful that you aren't becoming someone you wouldn't like if all the friends were to go away.

Being popular isn't really all its cracked up to be. The people who are popular often envy the ones who can go through life unnoticed and the people who go through life unnoticed often envy the ones who are popular. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. When you are popular it is fun and exciting at first, but soon you wish you could stop it all and just disappear because it stops being fun after awhile (unless you are good at managing your friends and your life).

Honestly when I was younger it meant a lot to me. I wanted to fit in with the rest and have tons of friends. But now that I am older and all, I realize I don't want to be popular or fit in or even have tons of friends. I'm thankful for what life gives me and I look at "fitting in" as being normal dull boring... so on. My advice. Don't try to fit in or be popular, its a waste of time when you can be enjoying life by just being who you truly are. <33
Galatians 1:10
10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.

More important than popularity is real relationships with people who love you for who you are, accepted you as you are, and don't care about how popular they are either. AND being true to your own convictions. You'll never be happy if you give up what you believe just to fit in and be "popular" because it will be fake and you'll always have to worry about what your doing next to stay popular. God loves authenticity and His people who are genuine. Remember, He knows your heart.

aaaaaah i never ever think about popularity, u wouldnt get a privacy no more private life for u, they would only expose about ur life, isnt that annoying if u wanna go to sleep and theres a paparazi in ur roof or whatever, and i think God never see you from "how popular are you?" sooo why we have to bother to look for something that God even doensnt care about 
I was popular within my crowd of friends be we ourselves were not popular, I don't really care about being popular, I was always more of a bookworm than a butterfly.

It's much better to be respected than popular.
With respect, comes a greater popularity than any other.

Hmm, I'm not that concerned with popularity. I don't have a TON of friends at my school or anything, but I still hang out with a lot of different kinds of people. I'm nice to the people around me and others see that so they are drawn to that I think. I don't like when a group of people will follow me wherever I go or constantly ask me sutff that concerns my own day as if we must be together at all times. I'm pretty independent and enjoy my "me" time
Being who you are is what is important, not trying to please everyone because that is a very difficult job.

According to others, who are concerned with it, but are not popular in their own mind, I'm a popularity 9 out of 10.
I guess that's just because I'm respected... I get lots of friends because I go out of my way to help someone. And in helping them, we get to know each other, and become friends.
I've told that not-so-popular-girl, that's how I get more friends... I don't know if she listened to me.

In high school I was fairly well known. Of course, I stood out in someways. I nearly always ran from class to class in my earlier years. I had a very impulsive mouth which often got me in embarrassing situations. I was emphatically and unabashedly nonconformist. I was told that I was a "legend" due to my utterly abnormal, yet friendly and intelligent personality. Although I suspect that by now my name is a mere whisper of the past.
Yet when it came to popularity and social ranking, I'd say I was closer to the bottom than the top. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't disliked. Ironically I was something of an introvert at the time and I guess due to being introverted and quite the hermit, I didn't quite have the social skills to be popular. Instead I hung out with the other nerdy people. And by the way, those closer to the bottom of the popularity scale are really fascinating people.

Everybody, to me, are interesting. I have friends in different religions, different races, different social standings, different ages, I have lots of friends, and one can have too many, in my opinion.
