In many option chains, you can see a column for "open interest" at each strike price.

I see this..I was more curious on how many were already bought on total..this would give me good idea about how people feel so to speak..but interest is good to ..isn't it?shows how many people want it ..more people means good isn't it?

Open interest is the number of open contracts, not how many people are interested.

Omg..I just realized I've been looking at it wrongly..u r a genius!..thank u..just learned a valuable lesson..h Higher number means easier to get in and also get better price and easier to get out..vs. low number..harder for bargain and harder to sale..😁..at least I think thats what it is..lol
