There are some cliques that are quite closed--there's an unwritten rule that you aren't allowed to sit with them. But a lot of them are loose groups of friends that frequently shift members and don't mind other people sitting with them. The latter sort I have no problem with. Especially as a social introvert, it's nice to sit with people you know.No One of Consequencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10147098184767515041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558143959483125714.post-81505589668740766272008-02-12T23:46:00.000-05:002008-02-12T23:46:00.000-05:00I think we sometimes make cliques too big of a deal. What is wrong with cliques anyway? It is natural to want to be around people who share common interests as ourselves. Should this cause us social disability? no. Erskine certainly does have its cliques but I don't think people are at all confined to one and only one group. As a social introvert, I know the pressure of sitting at a table with people I am not familiar with. I think it is the lack of common interest and the apparent rudeness of silence that keeps many of us confined to certain groups. I agree that we should all learn to be a little more flexible in our social lives but there is nothing wrong with using meal times to catch up with friends especially if you have a packed schedule.leviticus19_2http://www.blogger.com/profile/10877249252332743693noreply@blogger.com
