How do you break up with a group?
Have you ever found yourself with a certain group of people for a particular purpose? The purpose isn’t that important. It could be a prayer group, a French group, an ex-employee group, a band, an exercise group, whatever. The important thing is they’re not family and you don’t rely on them for a paycheck.
Everything is wonderful when it begins. You got together for a good reason and was excited to do so. Whoo hoo, fun! Until it starts to fall apart. Level of communication disintegrates. People start to wear on your nerves. When do you know if enough is enough? When do you say goodbye?
Without a NEED for these people, what binds you together? When you’ve done everything you can to salvage the relationship, how do you get out without being a complete jerk? It’s difficult to remain rational when you’re the only one who has a problem the way things have fallen apart. Everyone else just thinks that the way things should go. I (I mean) YOU wonder if you’re being ridiculous. Are you the one with the problem?
It’s okay. It’s only natural to think such things if you’re the ONLY one thinking that way. But then again, people tend to find other people that think the way they do. Maybe YOU’RE the only one in the group that’s different. Different is fine, actually sometimes it can be good. Except when being different makes you feel alienated or (almost) worse, annoyed beyond belief. When do you give up?
As soon as you dedicate a blog post to the topic.
