Have you ever been accepted into a group in which you felt out of place?

For me, it was my sorority. Since the pandemic, I’ve been think about how I even got a bid from the one that I did, because I don’t fit the mold.

Had a face time call with my big today. Felt even more like I didn’t belong.

Curious to know if anyone else has had a similar experience?

Literally the situation I am in now.. I don't have many friends so I go with my Husband to the parties his friends throw and they just talk about trucks and stuff mostly.. its boring. One of his friends does have a girlfriend, me and her talk sometimes.
Yes, a group of my friends of 20 years...

The ladies in that group never accepted me and looked at me as an outsider...

I decided to leave them after 2p years of being with them...
Myself in the Ivy League .... saw the moral hollowness of those at the University of Penn Law School and decided I neither fit that, nor urban life, nor liberal enclaves


I wanted a real life with real people ... humble people

All those around me said "accept the admission offer" ... go to Penn


But, I did not fit

@questionWeaver The Ivy League is a weird place. It is definitely wealthy, not humble. The joke it should be sponsored by Canada Goose runs true. I might be the only girl in my sorority who refuses to wear one though hahah.

Yes. Many times. Perhaps due to the fact that I am an introvert. However, you can just easily notice cliques right away in certain places.

I had a friend in high school he invited me into the group. At lunch we sat under this tree I felt out of place
I feel out of place in every group until I get to know the people well,
and they get to know me.

No. I've never actually been accepted into a group.

I never feel like I fit in with my social circles.

My best friend in school made his friend group like a club(like we had group chats and a Facebook page and stuff) and, as much as I liked everyone in the group and considered them all friends, I really had nothing in common with the vast majority of them

Out of curiosity, in what ways do you feel you don't fit the mold?

At my campus each sorority has a reputation with the exception of like 3 of them.

I just feel like when people hear which one I am part of, they expect a gorgeous and extroverted social type who knows how to party with the epitome of class. Most of these girls will realistically be socialites.

I have the classy part down, but nothing else. I’m so introverted and would rather read a book than attend a mixer. @issues
No. At least not in the sense of a sorority.
Yes, also a sorority. Senior year I pledged both a social sorority and was tapped for an academic sorority. I felt very out of place in the social one.
@CoralieJuliet I was finally talked into pledging. I almost didn’t do it at all.

@bijouxbroussard That’s a lot of fees and everything just for one year. I’m sorry you felt out of place though.
@CoralieJuliet It was an interesting experience.
