I'm a peripheral member of a local sport-based community. I joined simply to have people to play against, and have no desire to expand my involvement with them. However, most of them view the community as more than just a group of strangers who play together, and it can be difficult for me to stay on the edge. I wish there were a polite way to say "I like you as a teammate or opponent, just not as a friend" I'm slow to join into new communities, because for me, socializing is difficult and usually unpleasant, even with people I like.
