#radicalvulnerability — Public Fediverse posts

I've tried being in support groups at the suggestion of a therapist I was seeing individually after I basically hit a wall with one-on-one therapy. And after having been in various support groups for about a year now, I'm kind of...not impressed? Like, they're fine, but everyone else in the group seems to feel connected and transformed in a way that I don't. And everyone is always going on about how #vulnerable they feel and how grateful they are for the space, but to me everyone seems vague and theoretical and not very vulnerable. I also feel like when I am vulnerable, no one actually knows what to do with me, so I end up just feeling like a strange outsider, which is basically how I feel in all groups.

Is this an #autistic thing? Are #SupportGroups actually not as supportive as they're hyped up to be? Am I doing it wrong?
