Hey, thanks for the input. Yeah I know I need to talk about this stuff. Just haven't had the nerve. The reason it's easier for me to stay than to go is because I don't want to just vanish. Apparently it's really common for people to quit group by just suddenly not showing up and never showing up again. In group, they request that you come in and say good-bye if you're leaving. To me, that sounds miserable because you can't really say good-bye without people wanting to talk to you about it or talk you out of it, etc. It's a horribly frightening conversation. So I put that off. But avoiding it seems cowardly to me so I don't want to leave without doing it. I'm tempted to just randomly not show up some evenings, but then that comes across as some pathetic cry for attention. So I just show up and shut up. I guess I should just say that I have no goals there. Originally I said that I wanted to learn to be closer to people. I don't have that goal right now because my goal of fixing my life (finding a new job!) has overridden all else. Guess that's a hierarchy of needs thing....
