Hi Locust,
The group dynamic is a strange and fluid creature.......I am still learning the intricacies and complexities of group dynamics.......it is one of the reasons for me joining PC.......was to become more familiar with the group......as I have spent mst of my life running and screaming from groups

I have learnt many things.......and made mistakes I am sure.
I have also avoided for I do not like confrontation, especially when I cannot soften words or feelings due to a computer screen

. Being a writer, it has taught me a valuable lesson......that words can only express so much, that the meaning of phrases are open to interpretation.
I would hate to think that you feel like everyone is against you, although I do know how that feels sometimes irl. And those feelings can spill over into other areas. I know for a fact, that not everyone is against you. It is a numerical impossibility. We just try and find our way like everyone else and hope that we can make a difference somewhere and get some healing in the meantime.
Take good care.......you are important here, as is everyone else......sometimes we just need to be told.....that we matter.......well, I am telling you.......that you matter.......stick around and work towards forgiveness, a bit of self-loving, especially on the yukky days

.......know that we are here......
In stillness,
Michah
