⇔ Common experience, not social identity
concrete example
I got into this college, and I'm awesome."
I got into this lab, and I'm awesome."
I got into this company, and I'm awesome."
[People who make community affiliation their identity are usually "pretending to be great when they're not," which is not cool.

People who behave in a "I'm awesome to be a member of this community" manner are "people who try to increase their value by appealing to the fact that they are a member of a particular organization are less valuable than the average of that organization" (from Member Appeal) by which Value is adjusted downward irrespective of which community you are in.
