Respect.
I dont know what it is but every time I go somewhere and meet a new group of friends, I'm always the guy who is joked on the most, criticized the most, looked at strangely for what I say the most out of the group. The group of friends that I meet invite me out to lunch parties, to meet girls, and everything so I do socialize and I'm not outcasted. But its strange to me that I've been that guy in all my groups and I want to be the guy people respect for once, that guy in the group that people agree with even though he may not be right (like sometimes i argue and know that im right but people for some reason take the other guys side...always). For example today, I got pissed at the waiter in a restaurant and I was with m friends. the all looked at me like I was overreacting but a week prior, when my friend in the group got pissed at the waiter, everybody else got pissed and felt like leaving the restaurant. I want the same power, influence, but I never seem to get it. I often try to figure it out but can never arrive at an answer. I want to be the guy in the group people respect, that people are loyal to, that people maybe are a little intimidated of, that person that can do sometimes mean jokes, acts, comments, and gestures but people will think its funny or cool anyways, no matter what. Is that normal? What do I do if i want people to start treating me as such?

Some people are born extroverts, they are just better in social situations, they have charisma so people follow them and cling on their every word. The people who are the most respected in groups are also natural born leaders. I don't know how, but they just have a certain confidence, a way with words or perhaps even body language, that makes people look up to them.
I'm guessing you were born an introvert, your obviously not all that confident and people feel that clinging on your every word won't do them a damn bit of good, because you don't carry any importance or weight in the group.
How about, instead of waiting for people to invite you to restaurants and whatnot, you decide you want to go to xyz and invite your friends. They may not all want to come, maybe even none of them. But that's no big loss %u2013 just keep trying. Eventually people will start doing what YOU want to do.
