I'm like I'm like if we could go back

0:19

still to that question on impression two

0:21

people have feelings people have right

0:24

here from what they've seen of one

0:25

another in the Indus in this meeting

0:28

anybody got any thoughts about that

0:32

well I'm a little worried about Alice

0:35

because she's so quiet you just sit they

0:38

don't have very much to say this

0:40

afternoon yeah it takes me a long time

0:43

to get comfortable in this kind of group

0:46

it just seems so intense here you know

0:50

like every word is being studied I'm

0:53

just afraid to whatever others will

0:56

think about me well um I saw you smiling

1:02

earlier Alice I I felt that you were

1:05

judging me being judgmental I didn't get

1:10

there I just felt she didn't want to be

1:13

put on a spot Ellen I noticed that you

1:17

attempted to take the focus off of Alice

1:19

during the introductory round you seem

1:21

to be very sensitive general discomfort

1:23

well I disagree with that I don't

1:25

believe that he was being sensitive to

1:28

her I think she should have given her

1:30

the full time to say what she had to say

1:32

I think Alan may have actually just

1:36

wanted more time for himself how you

1:40

feel about that Alice let's check that

1:42

out it's not true I don't want the

1:45

spotlight you know I'm very shy and um

1:48

in fact when I go to parties I make it a

1:51

point to come in late so that I could

1:53

help the hostess clean up the glasses

1:55

how was it for you today in group Alice

1:57

no glasses to clean here no I actually I

2:02

thought about being some coffee cake at

2:04

the next meeting there may be some

2:06

glasses

2:09

that's a mortgage experience Ellis

2:18

I just interrupt you for a minute how

2:20

long cause I think something really

2:22

important happen here just a couple

2:23

minutes ago I want to just focus on just

2:25

a second I'm really interested bobbing

2:28

in what you just said about your own gay

2:30

experience when you were younger have

2:32

you ever said that before to anyone else

2:35

Oh once saw 10 years ago to my to my

2:40

therapist and until this moment this

2:44

group you've never told anyone else

2:45

never told peers and no I've never told

2:48

any group of people that no I have a

2:51

hunch that that was a real gift to Alan

2:54

I don't know I guess I get so wrapped up

3:02

in my own emotions I don't think about

3:05

other people's feelings I I guess that's

3:08

what Betty meant when she told me about

3:10

a couple of weeks ago but an Ellen I

3:14

don't think you're still acknowledging

3:16

Bob's gift to you I guess you're right

3:23

uh I don't know why I so difficult for

3:28

me just to come out and say thank you I

3:32

mean thank you all because because you

3:35

all been supported and you've all helped

3:37
