Yes, I literally mean that I’ve observed in-person social situations in which people don’t welcome a new person to join a conversational group, or are otherwise not gracious/welcoming/considerate of someone. None of these were horrendous/egregious violations of etiquette, but they were noticeable in that they excluded a person. I can’t speak to what extent this was an intentional act or an act of simple unawareness and not noticing, but I would guess it is more the latter.
And I should clarify that I don’t mean “people in EA” to imply “all of EA, in general,” but rather to imply “a few individuals in a few different occurrences in EA contexts.” Similar to how “I met some Canadians who are really good artists” doesn’t imply that all Canadians are good artists, merely that I met some who were.
Thank you for explaining. Kindness like this matters to me a lot, and it also matters a lot to me whether someone is aware that another person is in need of their kindness.
