People can be so cliquish.

Why People Tend to Form Cliques and How to Overcome It

People often form cliques due to a desire for belonging and shared interests. This behavior can create social barriers but understanding the reasons behind it helps foster inclusivity. Building genuine connections and embracing diversity can reduce cliquish tendencies and promote a more welcoming environment.

"What makes you think *I* wasn't?"

Do I have a reason to give you that much credit?

"Hahahaha, just kidding!"

Hahah oh then so was I!
(I wasn't =P)

"Well, SHE could've been talking about up here, but I wasn't."

Haha yea I realized that, but I said what I said because I thought your first comment may have looked too ironic otherwise. Lol no big.

I was talking about people everywhere in general. I personally talk to everyone. I remember growing up (in a small town) my friends gave me $ hit cuz I would have friends in all the other towns close by. They hated that. I hate people that stick themselves to a confined group.

Why would anyone even want to be that way? I travel alone, some people just walk with me longer. 🙂

Well, I think it is natural. People tend to gravitate to those they have things in common with, common values, ideology, interests, life style s.

Water seeks its own level.

Just think of your friends jealousy as flattery. They want you all too themselves, and they don't want to share. That is kind of nice in a way.

true shaka2, though it is good to point it out, some people don't really think about it, and little reminders that we are all humans in this world together doesn't hurt. Yes, we naturally gravitate to ones we have in common with, but knowing more and understanding others is valuable.

i don't mind cliques, as long as they're open to others and don't mind members of the clique making friends outside that group, like in your case tg. i think that's pathetic. i understand that your friends felt like they might lose you as a friend but that's just immature behaviour. i hope that happened around 3rd grade 😉

this time on the right thread 😉

ah ok, but GL and Aprilbaby are open-minded chicks. they're not closed to others. so, that's ok if they stick to their people for the most time. i think it gets really ridiculous when people see their cliques as a closed society, like sag does. he acts pretty much like an animal protecting his territory. fresh... brat i don?t know that well, so couldn?t tell?!?!

'... and how the hell would you know what it's like to be a sag rising??!'

you mean you're being ruled by a secret force and not responsible for your actions? lol

sag in court:
?excuse me your honour, i smashed this kids head the other day because he/she committed the major crime of being nice to me, but it's just because i'm a sag rising. how the hell would you know what it's like to be a sag rising!? can i go now and bully others for no sound reason, just because i enjoy hurting people? plus, i'm really proud of it and call it ?straightforwardness? and 'being honest'.?

hahaha, sounds like a scene from a tarantino movie.

sag, whatever you say to people is ok as long as you're trying to be funny. but as soon as i sense that your only motivation for writing certain things is to bully people i'll give you an enema you won't forget. violence, in any form, is something i will not tolerate. hope this is clear.

"you can't do anything about me..."

what makes you think that i wanna do "anything about you"? i'm not going to tolerate your violent behaviour. that's all. you think i can't do anything about that? maybe so. but i'm certainly not shy or afraid to try.

now, is the following a joke or a serious insult?

"why don't you go ahead and "sense" my middle finger sliding up your anus. repeatedly."

"you're a lunatic. probably in r/l too."

" i've had my middle finger up your anus for a while, i know.
some people just deserve it, imo"

besides sag, people with a sag rising may be cool. you are obviously far from it.

a cool guy would take off his shades, light another cigarette and say in a nonchalant way: "hey look buddy, you got me wrong there. i never meant to bully people. it's just my twisted sense of humour. don't take me seriously."

"i don't know man, leave me alone."

it's ok sag, i'll leave you alone. i'll only give you a hard time whenever you're aggressive and attack people(anyone) for no reason other than feeling the urge to be mean to someone...

i'm swimming off, too. lala-land's calling 🙂
