Thoughts on snickering and being mean? It’s a given human nature doesn’t respond to that very well!
Sadly, it feels worse when it happens to you vs. others but people who are self assured and confident (good characters, good upbringing) are also easily disturbed when it happens to others. Snickering and being mean is not cool.
Cliques get formed - very true, and very common here on GS - sometimes it can be intimidating for the new comers and thus damaging to the whole social space. Also, it can turn into cyber bullying, which is again quite damaging and becomes a barrier to healthy socializing.
Solution - be nice. No personal attacks. Respect opinions - if they make more sense than yours. :halo:
