How do you make it so you don’t feel left out in a group?

Find the right group...the one who includes you and accepts you for you.

@submissivelittlewoman I think the same. Working to fit into a group is hard work, you can never relax

I don’t care about being part of a “group.” I do my thing... if people want to join me... then fine. If I go it alone... fine

@lilangel you are overthinking it, just be yourself, if they get pissed off, they werent the group for you

I survive if someone doesn’t like me. It’s different when I’m at school @Bushmanoz

@lilangel Everyone, even those in groups that seem to be really tight clicks have self doubts, some people just go in and lay it on the line and make true friendships. I guarantee there are people in those groups who are working at fitting in and their minds are racing every time

You just have to learn to be comfortable with yourself, then you'll have confidence around others

@lilangel it takes time. You just have to make yourself face your fears. Whenever you feel insecure try to look at what's causing it.

Being left out is one of them.@DavidScott

@lilangel it takes time, you've already made a lot of progress. Plus, it's okay to fail. Fear of failure is one of the reasons people feel anxiety or insecurity. Learn to accept that nobody can be perfect

Mm only when nessesary but I don't mind staying away from the group

[@I just think that’s what keeps me from opportunities. The fact I’m so timid then other people take over which is not that I don’t want everything to be solely about me I just feel people are inclined to be with people that are interesting to them.

@lilangel I mean if I see i have common interests the conversation flows easily, but if they are people I'm not interested in.. I don't care and stay away

Listen & just join in with the chat. If you feel left out just walk away.

I usually try to engage with some who reply on the group. Most will respond back.

I try to think of what's really happening here and stop caring.
I know that's not what you asked, but that's how I act.

I had to go to an event today at my university and we had to sit with a group of people and talk people we don’t know@Dan193

@lilangel Have good ideas then, I suppose 😂

I take it this is in the context of group-work in college? Well that sounds a bit like working professionally with others in the work-place. After introducing yourself just a little, not too personal but things mostly relevant to the task at hand, you then keep most of the interaction relative to the work. As trust builds gradually, your work-based interactions will gradually show you who you'd like to know better and who you wouldn't. Then you could gradually start opening-up personally with the people you like, maintaining professional boundaries so that the work still gets done. Just my thoughts :)

Never try to conform to a group but them try to conform to your uniqueness
I opt out of that group, untill my onlyness comes along.
Squri13 · 41-45, M

Stay away from groups.

Being the class clown. 🤷‍♂️
EmilyEdith · 56-60, F
Stay home

I'd say be yourself, people are going to like you for who you are rather than working at fitting in to a particular group, then it will always be work. You need more faith in yourself
