Some people just find morons interesting.
My friend is popular and I'm not. He's popular is because he steals other people's jokes or copy's youtubers like Pewdiepie. His jokes aren't even funny. He makes little squeely noices and made up words loke a 2 year old. Why is he popular?
You seem stumped as to why he has more friends than you.
But if you were really his friend, a true friend, you wouldn't care.
You would just care for and about him and be a good loyal friend.
When people see that you care for your friends instead of complaining and being a tad jealous of their popularity , you will get more friends too.
There's something about him besides what you say that attracts people. They are sensing something good. Maybe it's loyalty they sense.
Did you ever consider why he's your friend? Maybe he is because he's just a good guy.
Believe me when I say people aren't popular because they make silly noises and stupid jokes. There has to be something else about him that they sense is approachable.
He obviously makes people feel comfortable and that's a great skill to have.
Sounds like your JEALOUS, not a good mind set. Embrace your friend and be happy for him.
Because he is busy trying to make people laugh and enjoy his company .. You, on the other hand prefer to whine and snivel out of jealousy because someone is getting more attention than you .. And he is more poplular than you .. Go figure.
FYI: jokes are often repeated from somewhere, because they are thought to be funny .. THAT is not stealing, THAT is sharing a joke. Not too many people come up with orginal material on a daily basis, clearly ..
