"The first one I've ever actually felt like I was a part of, where I was always welcome and could always rely on finding people like me."

People who think like you do, who will never challenge you about anything important, or expose you to uncomfortable ideas or opinions, or cause you to question your assumptions about the world.

You're right. Squishies like self-similar bubbles. And squishies like the idea that their bubble is better than every other bubble, if other squishies could just be forced to adapt to it.

This seems to be true of most squishies, no matter how they connect.
