At my work, I have the most experience in my dept. I am friends one on one with each of my coworkers. But, when it comes to group activities it is as if I do not exist. Does this happen as adults? I thought this was high school stuff.

Adult life is high school, without the teachers and the classes. Nothing changes, most people stay the same while you mature. I have sat back and watched that myself. It is sad to see that life is one big school event all the way to the end. But if you are growing, and maturing, and learning, and living, then that is all that matters, they are who they choose to be and they live life the way they see fit, no matter how juvenile it is. You always have the choice to be the better person in your life and to except them on a one on one basis as an *aquantence* friend as you wish. For if your time was done there and you were to move onto another job, that is all they would view you as....... they would and will always remember you and perhaps think of you, but they won't be there in your life outside of business. Blessed be..........

I personally think cliques are juvenile but there are cliques in every point of life. I mean, there are some people who love to be part of the crowd instead of being in the 'Out' Crowd. I think that your coworkers are intimidated by you because you do have the most experience.

Yes this happens in adulthood. It may seem juvenile, but it sort of makes sense. You tend to invite people to parties, lunch, ect. who your most comfortable with or that you have things in common with. Have you ever tried having a get together and inviting them? Maybe they don't know you want o be friends outside of the office.

Hi!
Unfortunatly it isn't. They often just say I'm going out with the girls or something. If you feel left out, tell your friends about it or try to take a more active part in a conversation, pay attention to their personal lives closely and ask them about it in the group. They will be flattered that you remembeed to ask and that no-one else did.
Hope this helps!

It is very juvenile. I seems to happen regardless of age. I guess it just depends on how extreme people are with it, ya know how childish they are about it. Otherwise I do not see why it really hurts... so long as people remember that they are adults.

Try inviting them to a group activity.. Like say, if they're going out to the clubs, set up a time and place and invite them there...if they don't show, then don't try that again...
Or you could talk to them one on one and ask why they don't invite you.

It's a human thing..not just limited to the young. It's in every age group...not all of human nature is a good thing.
I have seen it in my office, places I volunteer and even in my church...sad to say. Nature of the beast...and humans are just beastly sometimes.
