I think it's just time to do something other then group. I don't really fit in anymore. I had an incident happen today with a couple of guys, that caused me to leave group and walk to Subway and then be picked up from there.

The second group was called off, so 30 of us were in one group. We were doing an activity where you elected a leader to chose what game we would play. I asked the group leader to not put me on the list because I did not want to be the leader of the group. And honestly, I knew no one would vote for me. I didn't care if they didn't, I just wanted to save myself from an awkward and embarrassing situation.

I told the group leader not to put me on the list, and he said he was going to anyways.

He started reading off names and then he said "who votes for Bozdickens?" Two guys raised their hands and started laughing. One of the guys has done this sort of stuff before to me, the other guy, I haven't had issues with before, but I'm not surprised by his behavior.

It really offended me. They all went into the other room to do the chosen activity and I stayed in the room.

The group leader was asking me what was going on, and I explained the situation to him. I called those two guys a bad name to the group leader, and one of the guys was still in earshot.

The group leader didn't really understand what my issue was. I guess maybe these two guys were trying to make a joke. But I didn't find it funny. I found it offensive.

It's a combination of the women I mentioned in another post and these two guys today, that just put me over the edge.

I don't need this high school bullying crap from people who are 10-20 years older then me.

I'm going to just go to group one day a week. Only like 13 people are there that day.

I'm thinking of getting rid of one of my insurance company's and if I do that, I'll have to pay $10 a group. So I'd be paying $20 a week. I'd much rather do that and keep my primary doctor and therapist who are not currently being covered.

Did I overreact? I don't feel like I did because It really did upset me. I guess they might of been joking around, but I didn't find it funny.
