" Do they exclude? Or are they just under no obligation to respond to every single person that makes a comment? Do we all go around and talk to every single person at a big party of strangers? Or do we spend the majority of our time and attention on those we feel drawn to and easily get on with? I can imagine some will view me as in this clique, I can also imagine that some of the people i really don't like are also in this clique. I expect people I have never interacted with whatsoever will also apparently be in my clique depending who you ask. The clique name. List will differ person to person. | |||

"What are the signs? "I lost track in this conversation but if you are seriously asking... Here are my two thoughts. 1. There aren't cliques persay. (I know I can't spell but you hopefully understand) I think people generally get on with others better or have developed relationships which they can communicate easier with. This leads to freer more engaging conversations. You may feel there is a clique because your opinion/comments don't hit home as easily as someone they already know/trust. 2. There are perceived barriers to being "accepted" into conversations/thread comments. Basically people are rightfully cautious about just accepting anyone's opinion or comments especially if the person commenting is immediately wanting to be the centre of attention. Works the same in any social setting. If a person just strolls up to you and your friend group and starts chatting your initially be wary until you figure out what they are about. If that person is being over baring then you'd probably try to ignore them. You have to have to take time to just be yourself and comment and take part in the threads you find enjoyment in. Before you know it you'll be getting viewed as a clique member of whatever thread you are on by someone else. Now I clearly have to much time on my hands today and have verbally been sick on here. Digest at your own peril. (Again spelling and grammar aren't my strong point) | |||
