Some of the best people I’ve ever met were pretty low key and definitelly weren’t overly concerned with presenting an appealing image to others.
What’s percieved as coolness usually is just dressing the part and acting the part and in my experience “cool people” are often people who just take the whole maintaining a public persona thing to quite extreme levels, pretty much playing a role as if life was a Theatre play.
The cool kids at my school were actually generally pretty nice. A lot of us nerds had chips on our shoulders, but the reality is that as a weirdo loser, I was picked on by weirdo lovers and the popular kids were nicer to me than I was to them.
I don’t think they were all good people, given our school’s socioeconomic and racial demographics and the fact that it was a catholic school, I strongly suspect that some may have just appalling beliefs on some topics, but even when I ran into one years later she was nice and open minded.
Idk anyone else’s experience and I graduated in the early 10s and I know we were a weird generation in that regard.
I mean, cool people don’t act that way.
Cool and Good aren’t the same thing.

Popular =/= cool.
Those were actually cruel kids. Common mistake.
That’s not very cool of them
