Aren't you allowed to have your own private thoughts in this group and shouldn't they be respectful of them???

Oh, I definitely talk in group. I mostly respond/react to what other people say, provide insight, support, etc...and share very little about my own struggles.
What's happening at the moment, though, is that I had a very strong reaction in group - and instead of expressing it, I completely shut down for 2-3 weeks in group....so I wasn't reacting/responding to anything that was going on. It was like I was totally blocked off. And now, people are angry with me for not being involved in group...and for me not allowing them to help me work through what's causing me to shut down.
