Re: Found out about a group at the local library
Went to the group at my library. It was hard going . It was better at first when there was just three of us , although the other two were very much directing conversation at each other with me very much the third party. I got really anxious when the numbers built up . The person running it was something of a ***8216;hippy***8217; type describing himself as having been a radical social worker and working in learning disability and mental health communities in the 70s. He said he was very much against institutions for the intellectually/learning disabled and mentally ill. He made a comment about people wanting to be ill which didn***8217;t sit well with me but I bit my tongue. I was polite and answered when spoken to but there***8217;s just something about me that means I don***8217;t stimulate conversation. Ie there***8217;s lots of conversational dead ends.
I***8217;m very doubtful I***8217;ll go back. It was not exactly a relaxing experience.
