I do believe my nature to be proactive, but I would not wish to be labelled an activist.
I do not believe my tendency to be towards a clique or elitism.
I have a desire to intervene in difficult situations, but I am not a vigorous advocate of any particular cause.
My thoughts on cliques:
Definition: noun - a small, exclusive group of people; coterie; set
§ Different people need different things - one approach does not fit all.
§ Everyone is an individual.
§ Gregarious individuals seek out groups.
§ A group can be self-limiting or wide-ranging.
§ A group, by definition, can be a clique, but is in no way defined by the term.
§ It is possible, through lack of understanding and communication, that any ‘group’ may interpreted by others as being a clique.
§ Good lines of communication are the key.
§ A well-intentioned approach to any situation should not be rejected out of hand.
§ A defensive stance should be avoided at all costs.
§ Remember: misinterpretation can invite the label ‘clique’ to anyone’s door.
