===== Definition ===== 

Voluntary segregation is the act of separating oneself from a particular group or community based on personal choice. This could be for reasons such as cultural differences, personal preferences, or seeking out like-minded individuals. It is different from forced or involuntary segregation, which is imposed by external factors such as laws or societal structures. Voluntary segregation can sometimes be seen as a form of self-preservation or self-expression, but it can also contribute to societal divides and perpetuate stereotypes.
