I think this is an interesting article -- and I'm sure there are more than five social fallacies around. Can anyone think of any others?

I see these acted out quite often here in the senior apartments where I live. There are a few people here no one likes, for good reason, and yet no one has the courage to not include them now and then. Leads to some interesting interactions.
Thanks, Hortensia, for revealing who I really am!!!
MPD.
No more drama for me -- live and let live. Before I grew up, I was a very possessive clinging vine. Is that a tautology? I thought I'd never live through some of the emotionally painful geeky social situations the writer has described. He nailed it.
CoCo, wise and mature
Well, yes, I've been on the receiving end of some of these situations -- and the more mature me isn't hurt by it. People don't have to like me or want to hang out with me. But when I was a younger, socially inept, desperate to please, lonely person I could feel quite hurt by being left out of social stuff.
KH events could be like this, too, invite everyone so no one gets hurt feelings, and the folks no one can stand will definitely show up. There's a reason we can't stand some of them -- they're obnoxious.
