[quote=Anonymous]It is based on insecurity I've observed. The gatekeeping people do stuff like always mention stuff they did in years past with the friend group to make you feel unwelcome/remind you of your place. Also, I observe that they gossip about others, so I assume they would gossip about me too if I weren't standing there. The cues used to gatekeep can be subtle but are very real. The sad thing is that is keeps them and others from enriching their lives by expanding their circle. I find it exhausting to keep trying to be included, so I just stay civil and look elsewhere for friendship. [/quote]
