am I being little?
-
I don't have that many friends, but the few I have are very close. They are mostly divided into 2 groups and usually I hang out with each group separately. This weekend a couple of friends of mine wanted to go for a trip. This childhood friend of mine just got dumped by his girlfriend so I offered him to join instead of staying at home alone. The trip was pretty fun, everything was cool (the 2 other guys told me he's cool but a little too uptight for them). When we departed he took the other 2 guys' phone numbers. Something in me doesn't want him to "join" this group. I usually don't like to mingle different groups of friends (childhood/work/army friends etc.) Maybe there's some psychological fear behind all this, me fearing him taking my place in the group or whatever. But I think it's mostly because sometimes even your best friends get to you and you want some time out. To be in a different environment for a while (like having friends to party with and friends to go to trips with). That's just how I feel, even though I haven't said anything to anyone.

I think I have a similar habit. I don't like much when two groups of friends meet. I don't now exactly why. I think it's because they are quite different persons. I try to keep my childhood friends closer than the others. Maybe because I find them more "stable" than the others, or simply more "friend". ___________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us. My Blog [ITA]

Interesting. I usually have an awkward feeling, when two "groups" mix. I'm not much of a talker usually, and I am a bit disturbed since usually group/person A knows other stuff about me than B. Nothing I wouldn't tell each of them when asked, but anyway. Maybe I fear that people know to much about me when all this is accumulated. Or maybe I fear of losing a self-image I try to project for each. (I don't believe think that works anyway, I think I'm easy to figure out if anyone would bother, but still) Just yesterday I got a friend talking who perfected that separation. She's part of our group for years now, but most of us have never seen anyone of the others (I once met her together with her roommate, and she once tried to hook me up with another friend of hers), she's never invited us for a party at her place, she tells almost nothing. Ah well, I don't know why. I just figured again she can be unbelievably geek. While I'm equal opportunity, I also love applied statistics, and it always throws me

What ! only two groups. I have many groups - and I go to great lengths to prevent them from mixing. I have a crazy group, a moderate group, a religious group, a group from work, a group from high school, and so forth.

I keep it simple: No group at all. ;P

Usually when something like this happens, i find i've been putting up a different facade for each group, and don't know how to reconcile them. Stop being so uptight, either your groups won't get along and nothing changes, or they will, and you can drop a facade. Worst case: your life doesn't get any easier.

I hear you. I have had the same thoughts. A couple of years ago, two of my "groups" came together and it turned out to be quite good. Everyone got along - I was the subject of a lot jokes and old, funny stories but it turned out to be a good thing. When I got married, I invited all my groups and the same thing happened. It turns out the groups had more similarities than I thought and perhaps that is why I associate with them. Don't worry about it. If your friends are good, solid people, then everything will be fine.

I started working at a company that investigates frauds through database analysis. Crossing information on huge databases to find exceptions. They work with the police, insurance companies, business intelligence etc. But I just quit today so... :) Isaac Sasson, DB Investigator
