Of unassigned friend groups, this is an extremely strong effect One great thing about having worked in the restaurant industry for ~5 years is you see how deep this caste system really goes I worked with a waiter who was like, "check out the high castes at table 34"

This surprises me. When I was working in customer service, we most certainly did not have time (nor energy, tbh) to gossip about stuff like that. During break time we would normally just sit down and tried to exchange shifts haha. Or maybe I just wasn't interested enough <shrug>

There is some data on how initial attractiveness perception impacts the way we treat other people (i think it boiled down to "unless we feel that makes them a competitor, the more attractive people get a significant bonus"). No link though, just a thing I read about years ago.

I feel like I have to point out that these studies are usually of limited real-life value for a whole lot of reasons. But they do show widespread social tendencies.

Success is relative. To prevent the group from falling apart, what you really need is a "class clown" type personality - someone capable of breaking up fights in ways that do not cause further resentment before they escalate too far. Or so claimed another thing I read somewhere.

What does chosen vs assigned mean?

I'd guess "the children of my parents peer group" are an example of "assigned friends". You played with them because parents visited one another and children had to come along, not necessarily because they were epic fun.

I haven’t yet figured out a rhyme/reason to it, but yes. It’s less prevalent in young groups (like middle school) but I noticed as I’ve aged that people who “look the same tier” tended to become closer to each other & were more likely to lose touch with friends from lower “tiers”
