Being Part Of A Group

I once listened to a few people talk mild “trash” on me without them being aware -I was seated in an obscure position where I could not be seen- and a revelation occurred to me concerning human behavior:

When people are with a crowd of their family and/or peers they feel very empowered…they do and say things that they simply will not say to your face(for the most part!)

This teaches me that people in general crave being a part of a group and no matter what that group’s intentions are, those within maintain a sense of loyalty that would make the Lone Ranger and Tonto jealous. We simply love to be around people who are like us and we love teaming up for a common cause. Even in the “hood” this exists…why do you think gangs are so big? So how does this all relate to making money online…

…any one of you who aspire to the “DotCom” lifestyle simply has to find others to hang out with in cyberspace just as it is in the real world -Neo found this out too. You have to comment on other sites and/or participate in the various online forums and make friends…it’s all about being a part of a community that looks out for your interests.  So make sure you leave comments here and wherever else you visit. And of course you can always join The MarketSecrets Bloglog community.

Now since I’ve had overnight to reflect on this, I understand that those who were talking “down” on me really do not know too much about me because I keep to myself and rarely have large crowds of people at my house so the only thing they could resort to was to create negative rumors. All this shows is that they actually want to know more about me but just don’t know how to properly go about it…they either want to know what “community” I belong to or they subconsciously desire me to be a part of their “community”.

Why else would I be a topic spewing from their mouths
