How important is it to belong...

this is a simple question, but how many of you belong to a group or some kind of group of people to socialise?
Do you think that its important to belong? should we all try to gain friends and form small groups where we form some sort of shell around us from the world?
Was just curious really, of what you all thought...

I have friends yes
But I wouldn't say it's a way of forming a shell around yourself from the rest of the world, it's just normal to have mates :eek2:
Personally, as I'm at Uni I have a variation of many different so-called "groups" of friends - home and at Uni, and some people I have friendships with but not really in a group.
I think it can help your identity if you're in a group, but the difficulty comes to when the group dynamics fall apart - then it can be a bit disastrous!
You should have a good variety of friends.
thanks for your responses
and btw i do have some friends, although a limited number...
er joey, wen u went to uni did you get loads of new friends and lose ur old or keep old as well? u enjoying it?
Yes.
I've got my mates I go out with, mates I go to the football with, mates from places I've worked at, mates I've got from uni, mates I've got back home etc.
It's funny though, hardly any of the groups tend to cross over that much, dunno why.
As to the am I enjoying it? At the moment, not really, but that's just because I've 2 big assignments due in this week and am a little stressed.
im presuming u stayed on campus cus you said wen you leave home... so u think that was best choice or was it only choice?
that's the $64,000 question.
