I think what I am experiencing may be common to most groups that have been together for some time. It's as if most groups have an unspoken set of rules, and ways to deal with problems. I think it makes more sense to deal with specific problems as they arise, on an individual level... I think the groupthink common to most groups would disagree. I think what I'm experiencing is the desire to avoid talking to someone one on one about a specific issue, and rather "go to the group", and then "the group" decides what the issue is (they label the person with whom some people are having specific problems), and then the group treats that person as if the label is correct.

It's as if the group is the judge and the jury, and the person "on trial" never gets to meet his accusers, as they've disappeared into a nebulous group.

And yeah. People with PTSD may have some issues that may make it easy for some to label and reject them. (and in my case, they have no idea that I realize I have some issues, and that I'm working on them).
