Just swallowed the pill and have been devouring the sidebar, reading stuff about game, hitting the gym, all the good stuff. One thing I need clarification on is how to deal with assholes.

There are mainly 3 people who hate me, and they all have more status than me. And they all bad mouth and try to stop me at every turn, because they have no other hobbies apperantly. Each have their own personal style of doing it:

  • The first guy seems like the sort of guy who would have low status- he's short, nerdy, kinda ugly- but is actually preppy popular. He's really athletic (top xc runner and tennis player at the school) and for some reason hangs out with the popular kids, even though he's an asshole- for example, one time he purposefully ruined the grading curve for everyone just because he felt like it (long story). He's really agressive an always calls me out for random stuff. Maybe he's an asshole, maybe he has an inferiority complex.

  • The second guy is basically the same mold as the first guy, except even more popular. Everyone agrees he's ugly, a know-it-all, and kinda pervy, but he's popular cause he's friends with the real popular kids. He's more passive-agressive, talking to you and then saying stuff behind your back. Problem is, he's smart and legitimately good at making insults. He roasted this girl who was actually one of the most popular in the school, and her popularity fell hard. That's not the only time he ruined someone's rep either.

  • Typical stupid jock/fuckboi. I've known him since we were pretty little (our parents know each other and our families from the same part of India). He always thought of me as kind of a loser. Being honest, he has a point- something I've been trying to remedy. He's definitely the dumbest of the 3, though. But still, he bad mouths me to everyone.

How to deal but people like this?
