Bad Company

Perhaps we may not be as matured or rational as we think. We tend to commit silly mistakes or make some...slightly wrong decisions at some point in time. It will be good to figure out whether you will feel comfortable being in a particular group. A verdant newbie stepping into a long established clique is a definite no-no. A mutual friend joining a group of bosom friends...maybe, but hopefully you'll be accepted and be open enough to communicate. Those who are immersed in joy and laughter and the company of their close friends are most likely to neglect or be oblivious to those who are left out. Sometimes, isolation is not chosen. You know, it can be hard to find a slit in the conversation to enter. Anyway, how about when the "loner" and the "active one" are alone? There are times when the loner wants to initiate a talk, but the active one is so engaged with the mobile phone, like a technology slave. The active one does not start a topic either. Can't be bothered? Perhaps. Or, don't know what to say. This brings me to think, then why are we together? It could be a sense of obligation, you know. Like, since a point in time, we happen to be together, thereafter, it sort of seems weird/impolite if we don't hang out in a group, that's why we are together. Or, no other suitable candidates to look for to be involved in a certain activity.
Well, should the friendship ties be broken then? Not to that extreme extent. Because you have experienced times when ya'll can talk together, in a group. Actually with third parties as facilitators, things are fine. Just have to take note of certain things. If that friend is meeting up with someone close and have not interacted for long, kindly reject any invitations. See if you will have someone to talk to, if not you feel the loneliness and others may feel the guilt, but at the same time, can't think of what to say. Best, if possible, get to know him or her better. People may think they know some people, but actually they don't. And some people they seem to have a load of positive qualities, but they might not display them to all.
