Being put in a group, I hate that. I don't think anyone likes it. Everyone just wants to be their own person.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't like being out of the crowd. It's lonely within a group.
It's a bit loose and the people in my group have got other groups. They don't have to have a total allegiance to me. I think that's really a bit weird and showing some weird insecurity.
I was taught that you didn't want to be part of the group - that it was better to do your own thing.
I think better of our behaviour as individuals than I do when we see ourselves as members of a group. It's when people start forming groups that we have to watch our backs.
I really like the group tour better than going it alone. First of all, it kind of takes the pressure off a little. I'm not a naturally extroverted person. But I also like it because it brings in new fans. For example, someone who really loves Aprilynne Pike's books might pick up mine and vice versa.
I don't really like groups that make the same statement over and over again. It's good, but kind of predictable.
Everyone desires relationships and community. Most people want to belong to a cohesive, like-minded group. It staves off loneliness. It promotes identity. These are natural and very human instincts.
There is nothing in the world that I loathe more than group activity, that communal bath where the hairy and slippery mix in a multiplication of mediocrity.
The best part about being with a group is that you don't have to do everything alone. You're with your friends.
What I like is the idea of a group, even if it's just two people - the idea of solitude within a group.
