Ciqueish? What is the definition of a clique?
Do you feel SW is cliquish? How hard is it to get in to this site? Do you feel ignored, forgotten and why? And if you are popular do you feel you can share your life and your friends with us?

Just like any community of people, whether it’s online or face-to-face interactions, we gravitate towards those who share similar values, personalities, or interests.
A [i]newbie[/i] to the community, SW in this case, will have to find ways to get to know people, their ways and the culture in order to find those he/she would most connect with. It should happen naturally over time, over many interactions.
One has to let others get to know him/her. And in the same token, make the same effort to get to know others.

@CookieCrumbs Thank you for that exposure, it was the depth of my story tonight...at once we can believe again that human beings are just human beings, we face the same fears, the same complications, the same joys, even the same difficult relationships..This is OUR story one in the same....thank you for sharing this with us..you are beautiful..(;

This is such a great post. I've been on here for a couple years and don't interact as much as many. For me it's about finding the time and in order to comment on posts I care about, it takes so much searching to find them. I do not feel ignored or forgotten. I love what CookieBites says here. Similar worlds, values...
We all need to find our place or move along to what works for us. This is not a place for everyone as many of us have realized.
All I can say is be kind to all as if you would want them to treat you ❤️

I don't feel ignored or forgotten, especially by those whom matter.
But yes it most certainly is cliquish. Any place humans congregate there will be cliques and groups. The more some [i]seemingly[/i] try to be inclusive, the more they are creating an environment for exclusion.

I don't think it is that cliquey here but that might just be because I already had friends here from my EP days, so was made very welcome when I joined.
Just as in life there will always be people you relate to and got on with better than others, I don't think that's being cliquey, I do think it can often be viewed that way by people who you don't particularly like but who like you.
Nobodies perfect but I do try and be inclusive as possible but I prefer a small circle, so that I get to know my friends as individuals, some people get very annoyed by that as I don't add everyone and anyone, I only add people I can really relate to and that is seen as cliquey by quite a few I think.

I don't know?
I think when we feel left out it is easier to say it's cliques then figure out our own psychology.
I have my own group of friends...is that considered cliqueish?
Or is that just who I related to the best here?
I don't knowingly exclude people from general posts or discussions.
Some people like the silly stuff I post, but nothing is calculated.
It's not important in my eyes to be "popular",whatever that means.

Definition is a group of people, with shared interests, who spend time together and hold those peeps in higher esteem than others -
- Sure there is on here, it's the human way. Being honest tho, peeps like other peeps cause they themselves want to be liked. They give flattery to get flattery. Most of what we do, is for self, not others
- I don't care much, if I really wanted to be Mr. popular I wouldn't be Mr. sarcastic, lol

I try to stay on the down low if I can. I've gotten on here while completely shitfaced, so I try to give people time to forget things. Eventually, I'll come out of my shell, but I'm pretty hesitant after I've posted threads of crazy, unintelligible comments on a drunken rant. Otherwise, I'd agree with you.
Ladyred · 46-50, F
@perceptivei I started the same way, until I got my bearings, and then I discovered yeah, we're all just trying to maintain our piece of the universe...snd at the end of the day were all just human beings on the same planet, doing the best we can, and yeah, there are human beings that care about that..

@Ladyred I treat everyone with the same respect as I'd like to be shown. Yes I see it as mostly entertainment, but there are times people ask real questions and offer deep experiences. Some appeal to me, and I interact with them not from the standpoint of just having fun. I too have much deeper thoughts and feelings that I'd like to share with someone who actually would like to be helpful and empathic. You never know until it's thrown out there for others to scrutinize. So I post cautiously, and distinguish what posts are simply entertainment, and which are requests for meaningful insight. If I can offer only a laugh, I'll do so. If I can offer help, I'll do so. I'm anonymous but never fake.
