Have you ever been part of a popular or looked up to group? If so when and what clique?

After high school (where I wasn't popular :) ) the whole concept seemed silly, so in I've never worried about it.

However, in the original Everquest MMORPG I was accepted into an elite raiding guild. Which then promptly disbanded two days later. But that was totally so not my fault, I swear!

But that has been my one and only brush with inner circle, Illuminati style status.


What's your story?

I was a casual observer/member of the BSN Clique for a time.

Well, I wasn't very popular in school, the first one (don't know what you call it in english) they told me that I was hanging with the nerds and that it was wrong because I liked the nerdy stuff so much lol but then when I began in high school I became super popular and I even got voted for the prettiest girl in school and all haha, it was awesome!!

 

Oh, did I misunderstand the question? LOL

i was never in the popular crowd. Well Often I would get into fights into with the more popular jocks and often they tried to get me into trouble with the teachers and other adults in school many times. often I would protect the nerds and weak people. I can be intimidating due to my size. I always been a big guy and very strong, when I was young, I was strong enough to take down many adults.

Not really. I've never been able to fit in anywhere.

If I were to think in categories, I'd qualify as having been in several In cliques over my time, some IRL and others being part of online communities (like say the Old Guard for some forum communities, etc.), but I actively make the effort in trying not to think in terms of categories. It makes you lose the sense for individuals in favour for socialities and can screw with perceptions, like say liking someone based on their social standing even though they're horrible human beings, or for the polar opposite, looking down on others because they aren't as socially privileged.

 

This sort of behaviour is harmful, yet ubiquitous (just look at schools and their internal society's pecking orders, people practically grovel at the feet of popular upperclassmen to be part of the cool kids and others are essentially alienated and bullied because they don't).

 

Not saying that grouping up with people is bad, sharing common interests is a great thing and being together with likeminded people is wonderful, but many people are too much into the whole thing and subconsciously (or even worse, consciously with active effort) seggregate people into unfavourable categories to distuinguish themselves from others.

I guess? When I was in high school, popularity wasn't really as big of a deal.  I played hockey and rugby and was in band and joined the yearbook group senior year, and a good amount of people knew me. Continued to play sports and play music through out college and even then a few people knew who I was and I had no clue who they were.

I don't know maybe its because I grew up in a small town but I missed out on all this social standing bs. I certainly wouldn't have considered myself a cool kid in high school but also I never felt ostracised by my peers. And like ruggles I played sports growing up so I built a lot of acquaintances that way.

I went to a private school where the largest group ever was 14 students. So...not applicable I don't think.

 

In college I really wasn't ever familiar with more than about two people (other than a few people I know from my private school) at once--familiar being, I was in a class with them and had to do a project/be lab partners together.

 

So I think it's a no.
