RE: Blogging Around Day 69: The #Alliance is SEXIST!
It's sad you felt that way and I guess we are all different, but that is what I think is so great about #thealliance family as I belive its the diffences that makes us strong and the acceptans of each other and support. It's a big family and we can't be close to everyone but still show your support. I agree that the family isn't for everyone and I joined just cause of the reason it wasn't like any other but a family and I was blown away by the talents and amazing people in there. And I have always felt welcome from day one. Sad that you never felt welcome or included. Did you ever tried to say exactly how you felt? Tried to really get to know people for real? All I saw when you were in chat was all about unpersonal stuff and about profit etc... Never saw another side of you so I thought you were one of those that only cared about the money and how to get most out of different things. Actually I asked you once in chat about it but I don't know if you didn't se it or ignored me..... Mabye that can happen not attentionally but its easy to miss and doesn't mean you are being ignored. Make sence?
See? People got an entirely wrong perception of me, then when you have that initial interpretation of someone, anything else just feeds into that image. I can't help it if someone perceives me as a money groggy person and continues to get that impersonation because it is simply confirmed bias.
I did reach out to a few people and got to know them quite well or at least somewhat well and I love them a lot. @Moeknows and (I would have to search through my resteems to find the others but one of them always posts a sketch of himself in comments. He was dope) but I never felt the server was a good place to do this. It was a lot easier to find people on the platform.
I believe this is because of something you mentioned. The family is getting too big. This is just a facet of social behavior. If things get too big, then people that aren't "basic" or aren't bubbly and the common denominator, i.e. people with abrasive personalities like myself have a harder time to fit in and we get shoved to the wall.
I felt the best time for the #Alliance was when we had different syndicates. Then, it was small enough in each server to actually get to know people but as soon as we all converged into one main one, things started to distance for me.
