The Best Clique || a five minute prompt
Maybe I should define clique before I say something about the prompt, because it is the key word in the phrase.
A clique is a group of people with common interests who disassociate themselves from others and do not allow people join their group.
Obviously, we have as humans things that attract us and these features help us in picking friends and those around us. I guess the issue with cliques is that they do not want to spoil the fun they are having together. You know the case when you include one more person only for the person to split the group.
Even secret cults admit new members. Lol!
I will say the best clique is the one with a well defined purpose, and they are achieving their goals. It is very important to share and do the things the group came together to do in the first place.

Your post on cliques really resonated with me, especially your insightful definitions and the way you broke down the dynamics of group inclusion and exclusion. It's a topic I've been thinking about a lot today while reflecting on the relevance of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs for a post I'm developing.
The way you describe a clique as a group that "disassociates themselves from others" speaks so directly to the "Love and Belonging" level of Maslow's pyramid. It seems to me that cliques, in a way, are a concentrated effort to satisfy that need, but in a very specific, and often exclusionary, manner. The desire to "not spoil the fun" by including new members is a powerful point—it’s a way of protecting a sense of security and belonging that has already been established within the group.
I particularly appreciate your concluding thought: that "the best clique is the one with a well-defined purpose." This offers such a positive and constructive take on how to fulfill that fundamental need for belonging. It shifts the focus from simple exclusivity to shared goals and meaningful action. Your post has given me a lot to think about as I work on my own writing about these social dynamics. Thank you for sharing your perspective!
