In the end... That was precisely what happened. Two members became really very close and then they had a falling out. Group survived but it really was fairly unpleasant for the rest of us for a time. So I guess I understand either way. I suppose the notion is that it will be a bit safer to disclose in a safe environment. Not having contact with group members outside group is probably a fairly good way of keeping that safe environment.

Yeah that sounds stressful. There's enough conflict in group without something like that going on. I've been trying to steer clear of the conflict in group. But I already knew I avoid conflict. That's not news.

Do you usually feel like you don't have a lot in common with other people?

(Just curious)

Oh I don't know. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I have a lot in common with one of my co-workers. I'm seeing that I have a lot in common with people on this board. I guess I notice the similarities a lot less when I'm interacting face-to-face. I'm less distant in writing because there's much less vulnerability here. Nothing like being anonymous words on a screen....

The people in group have very different lifestyles from mine, but I imagine there might still be some similarities. Will see if I notice any.

Sounds to me like a process group (with how the content of the discussion seems trivial but then the content of the discussion becomes the group interaction).

Yeah that sounds like a good description of this group.
