Social Cliques..

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know how NT's do it.. I find cliques f*****g ANNOYING.. It's hard enough making friends save trying to meet 4+ more people! I give up for now.. Not going to try and be something i'm not. Back to my dark cave where things make sense xD

Same thing goes for the chat on here.. Everyone seems to think it's a fking dating service or something. They also have their cliques and ignore you, OR you'll actually be talking to people and you're attacked for some reason usually relating to grammar, wrong facts, or some other BS relating to your intelligence. Then you get to hear some smug as*hole/s try and piss on your parade despite continuing your previous conversation.

On a smaller note.. Anyone else notice the front page is just filled with posts from this Kirsten Lindsmith chick? Yes.. we get it, you're hot, you understand us, think it's possible to give us advice, and love your camera... I don't know.. I suppose I'd like it more if it was an article from an old timer psychologist xD

Just my opinion, feel free to flame it, actually reply with something valid, or pass it on by as you all normally do.

yes.. I know it's Valentine's day and i'm on this website.. Yes I don't have a girlfriend, Yes I'm a basement dweller (figuratively), Now that we've gotten that out of the way!

Bye..

Lol,

I'll admit, I didn't know who Kate Upton was.. So I googled and my eyes where not disappointed hehe. I would have posters up of women like that but.. I'm not allowed expression in any way lest I show people i'm human like them -.- . Apparently i'm just supposed to stand by and be everyone's tool, doing everything everyone can do themselves but are too lazy to do.

Social cliques make sense if you consider humans to basically be pack animals -- I think they are, but that begs the question of what I must be to stand outside the packs and ponder over such confusing behavior.

Maybe I'm the human social-equivalent of a cat. Or maybe men are from mars, women are from venus, and I'm from neptune.

There. I said something and did not pass over your post. I seem to be a thread killer, so I know how that feels.

It does make you wonder.. I've heard deviation from normal human nature can be considered evolution but i'm sure it's more of a deficet then an evolutionary "gift". Considering it hurts me in society more then it helps.. AKA avoiding having to talk to ANYONE for ANYTHING.. like when you run for the self checkout at the grocery store rather then have some clerk handle all your stuff.

and thanks, I know, that was an unfair generalization. I didn't have a great Valentine's day and I thought 2x more today then usual so.. I'm a tiny bit sad.

No, no; don't worry. I know where you're coming from on the Valentine's day subject.

As for evolution being a pleasant experience - think of it this way... plants evolve based on selective environmental stressors pushing them in a certain direction (producing toxins to stave off insects, for example). If social behavior is evolutionary, it makes perfect sense that the process of change - adaptation - would be unpleasant until such change is established in a wider gene pool.

I'm not sure if the way I relate to society is a product of evolution, though - it's just how I am and that's as far as I can figure it.

EDIT:

I don't get social cliques either. I never did.
In school I always spent time with the intellectually different and socially flawed people like myself.

I have noticed the part where you said certain people like to bring a poster down on WP. It's like some enjoy being "bullies" of sorts. Its great to be knowledgeable but some take it too far and pick fights with people who are just stating their thoughts on various topics. Who cares if its grammatically correct or not or if its not that intelligible . Its a discussion board and we all have a right to use it. As long as we aren't making someone feel like garbage or making threats than who cares about spelling etc.

I also don't understand why some people think this is a dating site. Example post title "How does my OKC profile look?", which is fine and harmless enough but I think most people here have difficulties finding dates, not to mention friends. Its hard to give good dating advice or get a date when you're quirky yourself. I don't give it. I can't even find a girlfriend of my own!

There shouldn't be cliques especially on a discussion board where so many people share the same struggles and quirks.

nope you're not alone.
