So I graduated from university last year, moved and work back home where I've lived for 15 years, hang out with the same junior high schoo/high school people who are pretty cliquey and aren't interested in really meeting anybody else. Right now I'm kinda bored with same people over and over, but I'm just finding it hard making new friends...I dunno. Work isn't really an option, all my coworkers are married have kids etc, tried taking random classes, just hasn't worked out. Anybody else have this same problem? |
Humans are a tribal species, and in an age where everyone lives in close proximity to everyone else, this tribal tendency manifests itself in "cliques." You're friends are uncomfortable with associating with members of other "tribes". Your tribe seems to not be meeting your social needs. Play a sport or something. |

actually, egoic behavior is what causes cliques and opposing groups. |

I hate cliques. They alienate you from a number of interesting and potentially amazing individuals.
Try meetups.com and find people who share your interests. Join a pick-up soccer or frisbee game... make a friend on a team, then make friends with their friends. You just gotta be really open about it. If it works, it works, if it doesn't, it doesn't, move on. |

I can relate to that, actually, and I don't think I'm a Kant. |

*nods*
yeah what all three of these posters said. Some sort of extracurricular recreational sport is the ticket. Join an indoor soccer league or dodgeball, kickball, basketball, handball, volleyball, rock climbing, etc...
Not only will you meet cool new people, you'll have fun and stay in shape (somewhat). |
