But listening and watching is how I enjoy being around people! But anyway I try to participate the way everyone else is, I try to volunteer during the silences with stuff but it's always wrong. I always get the looks that suggest I have a third head.
I just don't get it.
I get my husband which is probably the most important thing (we do tell each other when we're unhappy with something in a monthly "Bitch away free from angry response" session.)
I just don't don't know how the group dynamic works. I can see it happening when I observe, but I don't know how to do it...and it seems to natural to everyone else.
Honestly? I'm not TOO stressed about it...but it felt good to admit I don't know what the heck is going on most of the time.
Oh I can usually contribute more readily with a small group (one or two people) or if it's people I know really really well. The dynamic is easier because you're responding to one person at a time really.
It's like parties where I don't know much of the people, or like back in school on the playground or anywhere where you're meeting people for the first time. I don't know what to say or when (and when I do I always seem to get it wrong) but I know just being quiet is some how wrong.
And I'm talking about groups of 6 or more for instance
