When I was in group we had a method of claiming time before we got started. There was a check in where the facilitator asked each of us a few questions and during that time we could say whether or not we had something specific to discuss. Maybe you can find a way to claim time. The goal is put out there how you're feeling and what you're going through without worrying about how the group responds. They may connect to it, they may not, but getting it out is part of the value. Your struggles are no less important than anyone else's.

Do you not see the parallels between yourself and the guy who is high and the girl that doesn't want to be talked to? You can use those scenarios to share about yourself as you have recently shared some of those characteristics. Your circumstances might be different, but I see the similarity.
