Thread: What cliqe are you in?

I'm a gearhead =P

I'm one of those apple-fanboys.

I'd say I'm with the athlete clique solely because I spend the most time with them. However, I have friends in every (I guess for lack of a better word) clique. Honestly It doesn't matter what group you are with or what you believe in, as long as you believe in yourself and are kind to others, I have no problem being your friend.

Everyone is different.

Most people look at me working out and are like.... Dumb ass, and shake their heads.
What they don't know, is that while they're using facebook and posting cool pictures, I'm the one making them.

Just my two cents

Honor society officer. Were like a family on campus. And not the cliche geek squad kind.



I'm the guy in red. Told you I was white.

You made Facebook? I doubt this.

I hang out with just about everybody, from the sports kids, to the gamers, and pot heads (i dont smoke though). The only group i dont hang out with is the "trading card nerds" as they're called. And the only emo/goth like person i hang out with is my cousin, but he's pretty cool and i like his friends, too.

Pompous assholes

I'm not really in a clique. I just freakin awesome.

I don't have a clinque, ive always had trouble with friend ship. I am so different that most others cant relate to me and I don't have intrest in what most people do.

Unless doing 1 armed pull ups in the middle of weight training class makes me a bad ass.

The fuck

I'm NOT telling

Oh, no, we stand out, trust me.

Most (or at least some) of the people in my group are the people who do weird stuff just to pull the strings of the "normal" people.

A lot of people did where I used to live in central Minnesota. Cool dude. Does his own thing his way.

This was my high school theme song "Bobby is cool" BOB DYLAN - TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING LYRICS

You should realize in the song that Minnesota is the land of ten thousand lakes plus.
Not the greatest singer, but a good poet for sure.

No, I'm not that old. Really got into he's music a few years back.

Social cliques are damn fascinating if you don't let the implications of them phase you.

I was all over the place in high school, and was even pretty unstable throughout my early part of college. In every clique I was a part of, I hung out mostly with others in that same clique, and adopted their values as well as their culture.

Wall Of Text incoming!!!

So...here it is...

niteLite's Clique/Scene Evolution

* In high school I started off as the completely shy introvert. Very few friends, who also were shy introverts who barely socialized.

* Then as I made friends and everything, I found myself in the drama club/theater scene. A LOT of silliness and dramatics pervaded this scene. At times, it was VERY fun.

* Before long, high school influences pulled me into the emo scene. Almost the opposite of the drama club clique. Got into a lot of emo music and hung out with other emo kids, some who were really interesting.

* After a year or two I started getting really into tech and programming and became a computer and video game geek. Programming, internet inside jokes and ideologies, and a declining social life (I sucked at balance).

* After another year with that declining social life, I decided I wanted to be more proactive, less shy and somehow pushed through and got into the drama club scene (again).

* That didn't last long, because then I became a film club kinda guy. This was interesting. It was like a cross between drama club clique and computer geek scene.

* Going into college, I became the completely shy introvert (again).

* Trying to fight my lack of a fulfilling social life, I became creepy pickup guy. x_x

* After MONTHS of that hell and (still) a lack of a fulfilling social life, I decided to be super proactive with the goal of just sharing fun times. I became part of the happy-go-lucky overly cheerful crew.

* After my first year, I decided to rush frats and actually managed to adopt frat culture pretty easily; I adopted the bro scene and despite my small frame, also adopted gym rat mentalities. Then again, they do go hand in hand.

* It's been a few years now, I am finishing college, and I have grown beyond a lot of my past insecurities. Now, I guess I'm just a chill normal guy. Not perfect, and I know I still have fears and everything, the only difference now is I know exactly how to handle all of that stuff to grow for the better when these insecurities show up.

Conclusion

I don't exactly identify with any particular crew anymore. None of the ones in the past made me feel like me. I now know I can hang out and have fun with anyone who is down for sharing good times. Any club, any org, any group or any scene. Sure there may be a few dbags here and there who will let how other people perceive them influence their actions, but I don't wanna waste my time with them anyway.

Generally, I look to hang out with people who are chill, relaxed, fun-loving, and proactive about life. The key for me feeling comfortable in my own skin was learning to be authentic, genuine and even vulnerable if the time called for it, and just sharing those genuine positive vibes with the people around me whenever I could. Even through the fear and insecurities that may have reared their ugly heads.
