A few people have not been very validating about it. Which hurts me more. i.e. "you should stay in the group, it will help you, don't run away from your problems." I don't feel heard when people say stuff like this and I don't think people realize the extent of my emotional pain around this group.
Hey, if it ain't working, why do it? Group isn't for everyone. There are things I would say in one that I wouldn't say in another. Some people are just uncomfortable in group.
You made the choice for you. Good job
