A stereotype is a widespread misconceived notion about a group. For instance, assuming all Jewish people have large noses or that all Asian men are smart are stereotypes.

A cliche is when something is predictable and happens a lot. For instance, A romantic movie in which the woman insists she doesn't like the man and then they fall in love at the end is cliche. Or when someone gives a woman a rose for valentines day, that's cliche because it happens a lot and is often predictable.

A cliché is a phrase or idea that is overused and lacks originality. A stereotype is a widely held but oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. While they both involve generalizations, clichés are more about language and expressions, while stereotypes are more about perceptions of groups or individuals.

Why do you tend to stereotype groups to which you do not belong instead of groups you do belong?

We usually stereotype groups to which we do not belong to. For example the poor usually stereotype the rich and the rich usually stereotype the poor. We tend to stereotype groups to which we do not belong instead of groups we do belong to because the more individuals in a group we know personally, the more difficult it is to believe a stereotype about them.
