People you talk about sounds like 'choleric' type. They are the
ones who talk loud and decisive. When forming a group, they are the
one who stand up and choose people. If you are not one of them,
then there is only one way, you should be the most wanted one. How
to be the most wanted by many? It's only if you are unique!
See your life back for a while, what are you good at? Sport?
Science? Art? Everyone has talent, and everyone can be extremely
good at something. The question is, have you found your talent? Do
you realize what you do good without suffering? If you haven't
found your talent, then that's the first thing you should do to fix
your life. If you have known yourself very well, then I suggest you
stick with people who have same interest, so at least they will see
you at upper level because you are good at it. A sporty guy will be
a 'spare tyre' in the midst of geeky guys, and vice versa... common
sense, right?
Know yourself, find your place, and enjoy your life!
