Cliques

I've always been on the outside, even when people actually like me. How about you lovexroads88?

I have inadvertantly been in cliques--but found out after the fact. I do not want to or identify with belonging to cliques...I prefer to like many different types of personalities and people rather than just one group. I had people tell me at a later date that I was considered a part of a few cliques just because I had friends from all walks of life. Who knows--it always surprised me I guess...I never have or will want to be like that...

In hs chili grades 1-12 I was always on the outside of all clques. Same in the work place when I started my full time job. I feel more a part of groups now in my professional life and being with a higher level of maturity.

I've never identified as being part of a clique. I usually come across as standoffish and some think it is aloofness.

I have been told many times that I am cliquey, but I don't really beleive it as the people I was friends with/am friends with we bring new people into our group on a regular basis because they are fun positive, optimistic people. If a person is needy, clingy and negative/downer, do you really think that I can be blamed for not wanting to be around you?
