In my group people are very understanding and nice. We have two leading Ts male and female they are both fantastic and keep the group safe and comfortable place.
I am very glad I have the option to go and share experiences it gives me sense of belonging and support.
I am not emotional person and I do not cry or express myself emotionally but of course other people in the group do. I have anxiety response to emotions in people which reflects in a way that I smile. It is of course very awkward for others and me but I explained why it happens and that I really canīt control it even if I try very hard and people understand. So even I have this really bad reaction people are understanding.
You will be ok ((hugs)) ... good luck

OMG! Your response to tears is mine. I'm scared they will be mad at me. I'm very uncomfortable around emotions. I'm scared they won't accept my awkwardness. I want to work on it and do better at responding to others. I have empathy and/or sympathy but I can't express it in the moment. If it's on TV, I'm ok. Will I disclose all of this tomorrow at the first meeting?
