Ah, sorry. I wasn't trying to imply that people don't already do what I was suggesting. Just that people tend to, as you said yourself, group off for the exact reason you and I have both stated. It can just be downright frustrating and awkward when immersion clashes. I totally get that. I've experienced it myself on a few occasions, and I can vouch for how much it makes you want to find a group you are comfortable with.
My whole suggestion on giving others a chance was more for me than anything. Something I'd like to see others do, sure, but nothing that I think should be forcibly pushed on anyone. It's not some kind of ultimatum or demand that everyone else to put themselves out there like that. It's an elective thing to do, and just depends on the person. It's something I personally will try to do - even if it makes me uncomfortable at first. Simply because I'd like to give everyone a chance, and others a second chance in the name of broadening my own circles.
