Popular people are not by definition mean. In fact, just the opposite.
That’s what * I * said. ;)

I think just as often the " high status" exclusionary group considers others to be* declasse*, “everyone else” considers the " movers & shakers" to be - elitist & shallow.
Both stereotypes are often inaccurate.

I was meeting some people at a restaurant in my old neighborhood a few years ago & sat at the bar while I waited. I was stunned to notice that I was sitting next to a BMOC when I was a freshman in high school ( he had been a senior). We started talking and I found him to be very sweet & insightful. ( we didn’t talk about high school & I admit I kept looking in the bar mirror to see how we looked together :o)

I don’t remember a group of mean girls, but I was friends with some girls who were social climbers ( and to my dismay, I found out at our 35th reunion, at least one still is)
She has other things about her I liked, but while in high school I gave her more credence, now I just laugh.
