There were a lot of days that I didn't show up, a lot of days that I left early, and a lot of days I didn't do the homework. The fact is.. I still learned quite a bit, I can still talk intelligently about it, and I'm quite good with some of the skills specifically opposite actions, coping ahead, mindfulness, and understanding emotions. I didn't get much out of distress tolerance, and I'm quite weak in interpersonal relationships for a few reasons. I've also learned that being successful with some of the skills has brought about a new dysfunctions within me. It's not better, it's not worse it's just a different kind of "not normal".

So while the person may not be meeting your expectations or doing things the way you do, it doesn't mean their not learning...
We were also told right at the beginning that if you miss two days you are out of the group. I understand what you are saying and I need to keep that in mind.

I just find it distracting.
