It is also important to be able to function as an individual outside of the group. Those who have experienced instability in their lives often function best in a group, either because they thrive under the attention that they had previously been deprived of or because they enjoy being taken care of and feeling as if they belong. Since power is often somewhat distributed throughout a group, this makes its members feel as if they have control. For people who have suffered from having their life controlled by others, to feel some semblance of control is almost overwhelming.
Additionally, if the group is acting like a singular person (due to the similarities of its members) then it is important that the group is able to be social and interact with people or groups outside of its own entity.

If two members of a specific and selective group are sitting together at a dinner party, they can stay together (if need be for comfort, seeing as large gatherings are often uncomfortable, especially in an unfamiliar setting). However, they must include and interact with others. Members of a group should be welcoming rather than off-putting. While they are not required to welcome other people into the group, they do have to make an effect to mingle and effectively communicate with others; that is if they truly want to be social. Without an earnest attempt to branch out from within one’s solitary group there are no social gains to be made.
