Does this place remind you of high school at times?

The popularity contests and the cliques
PerfectIllusion · 41-45, F Best Comment
Unfortunately so! It's funny to me how some people talk about their so called "friends" on here horribly via PM amongst others in their clique but they act like they're bffs in the open forum and proclaim they are so nice to everyone on here. Got caught up in the screenshot, rumor mill once. Never again!

Not really. I mean I see some people obviously correspond with others regularly or more than others so they may have some inside jokes but I don’t know about cliques. I do see a bit of member “worship” that I don’t exactly get. Ok maybe worship is too strong a word, fandom? I don’t know, some members have maybe been here a long time and have a following.

@SW-User If people form friendships that's one thing. The popularity contests I'm referring to are the threads started from a ember of the clique asking you to name the nicest member here, the best looking, people whose photos you like to see, etc

@chuck7882 That is a bit silly,but I just take it with a grain of salt.

@chuck7882 I’m going to create a post with a poll about this and all the answers will be me!

Yes,but I don't worry about it too much.
Lots of what happens here is illusion only.

More like elementary school at times

YES. I see so many types of 'cliques'.... comparisons, and contests liek you said. It's like, Um how about we ALL just chat or ask Q's or listen to one another instead of favoring ppl, like high school all over again ????😑

No. My highschool was violent as fuck, blood, snot, spit all over the damned place. Also it didn't have any girls

I don't see many cliques. Maybe I'm stupid. EP was much worse for that.

@SW-User there is a certain obnoxious group that falls over each other and excludes everyone else. Maybe you don't follow their posts.

@chuck7882 :? Yeah, I dunno.

@SW-User I won't call them out publicly but let me know if you want me to PM you some names
The narcissists, attention whores and bullies.
Absolutely

sometimes yeah, I think it is best to stay away from that stuff.

Guess I just don’t pay much attention. I like to stay in my own lane. 🚗

Nope. I haven’t been called to the office once yet.
I ignore them here just like I did in high school...
