i was the local drug dealer so i was pretty well known. whatever you needed i had it. what about yall?
I was popular to some degree. I was invited to join the popular group in high school and went to a few high school parties, but I never really felt like I fit in. I ended leaving that group after awhile and formed a small group of my own with a few other girls I knew. That little group lasted right through high school.
Pssst, a little birdie told me that tomorrow, an old, olllld regular will be setting up a new, thoroughly unmoderated forum for the denizens of sociopathworld! Perhaps those of us who would prefer a less restrictive environment will pay it a visit every now and then, yeah?
How long do you think you will be able to hide that information, eh Luna? Do you think that for all your frenetic attempts to generate obvious puppets and distracting content, you will be able to gag us everywhere? Here....? At the old forum, where you proudly stated that you are the admin?
Really, now. How can you think people will not choose to leave in the face of such juvenile tactics on your part? Did you honestly think a self-described group of sociopaths were going to stand for the arbitrary rule of an "enfant terrible".....?
You don't like the thought that the old regulars might still have more sway here than you think, do you?
Nah I was the long-haired kid into metal as were my friends. Which was great because with that came an interest in horror movies and macabre stuff so I didn't have to pretend that much at the time.
And that delayed the realization that I could be a sociopath.
yea my high school was also filled with idiots that's why it was so easy to take advantage of them. they were all spoiled rich kids but were neglected by their parents so they would always be in need for drugs... eventually they made me rich :)

Yeah that's one strategy.
Back when I was a user I made friends with a low-level dealer (which was not easy because he was one of the biggest assholes I've ever met) and became the partner in crime the one who would co-invest with him.
So I didn't deal myself but I had access to his stash and I know he was fucking me over on quantities and cash return but that was par for the course and that was the price of my peace of mind concerning arrest records et al (i.e I don't have any criminal records).
I was sort of in that uncanny valley of popular and unpopular. My school's theater group had people from all clicks (even a few charismatic jocks), so I got to know people through that. Study hall was generally a waste of time, so I also got to know people I'd generally not hang out with there. I also found people in their variable selection of art classes and occasionally I'd befriend someone on the bus ride home or in the town's local library if I didn't feel like being alone quite yet.
The stable, calmer, unpopular group was a group of disorderly minds that played d20 games, card games like Magic the Gathering, ate lunch in the Computer Lounge to play simple flash games, and otherwise were just trying to find ways to pass the time. I'd sometimes bring my GBA to play Advance Wars with them if I needed a break from card games and finding exceptions and ways around the school's internet security.
A had this weird sort of mentor habit where I'd befriend people a grade or two younger than myself and end up trying to fix their issues in the sort of way my brand of thinking would allow. I'm still friends with some of them.
Overall though, high school I mostly drifted through. The materials were generally too easy or boring to keep my attention, a factor that'd only be increasingly reinforced by my typical lack of sleep in rather dull settings. I'd usually try to make up for any shortcomings by studying alone at home when I couldn't sleep, or if it was based around answering homework questions (as opposed to turning in essays or research papers), I'd just do my homework during corrections, making sure to stay ahead of where they were so I'd be prepared in advance if I were called on to answer the next one. It felt like a race some days.
I met some pretty weird people across the span of my high school career, and I found myself usually delving into individual cases as opposed to entire groups.
