Not caring about popularity-defence mechanism?
Is my purported not caring about popularity likely to be genuine or a defence mechanism against relationships and failing in them?

Are we talking friendships, relationships or both.

Do you think it is?
I can honestly say (after much self analysis, perhaps too much) that i don't really care about my own general popularity. By this I mean that I'm not really bothered by the number of people that like me or consider me a friend or whatever, instead I think I care more that the close circle of people that I do consider to be friends reciproacte my feelings. I would be really disappointed and quite possibly hurt if I found out that one of my close mates didn't really like me
but I guess that is normal and is linked with emotions such as betrayal and not particularly with the normal definition of "popularity". 
I know this is perhaps completely irrelevant to you and your post and I'm sorry if it is, but maybe you are similar to me and don't particularly care about the rather superficial perception of popularity but do care more about your so called popularity but only amongst a select few?

its like your taste in music , your taste in food and what you want from a person are like your sexuality you don't have any say in it its either right for you or it isn't.

i don't do it to ptotect myself , sooooo yes and no is your answer.
