That your enumerated actions point out ignorance, Andrew, I am assuming that you mean that the actor was not aware that these actions create alienation, a kind of self isolating campaign on the part of the actor. It should come as no surprise then, that the actor cannot understand the correlation between the actions and the isolation, falling back on the source of the ignorance and old patterns of blaming others. In a case such as this, a person would not be capable (and we should not presume to know the reasons) of understanding the relation of the actions listed below to group dynamic - the very definition of "ignorance" or not knowing.
Ignored is a very different matter. Peer pressure is a very powerful mirror of the effects of our own behavior and relatedness to groups. Sometimes, the most compassionate thing for a group to do is give a member the space needed to discover what they cannot understand or know, with reminders such as yours, or a silence that allows other members of the group to give it their best shot. In these cases, what may appear to be ignoring, is actually allowing the process to unfold and the group to nurture and support. Very reasonable post, Andrew and assessment of the group dynamic here as it relates to acting out and puppet identities. All of us struggle with the group dynamic here, communicating our ideas and relating to each other. The group is global, multi-lingual and each of us with our own personalities, strengths and flaws. None is an exception. The fact that the group has peaks and valleys of coherent dialogue should come as no surprise, given the platform, longevity and participant make-up of the group. The mystery of this particular group's survival and value keeps us coming back and may be more of a feeling than a knowing. Something happens here. My hope, Gabby, is that you are on the brink of a personal break-through that allows you to communicate in ways that the other group members can understand, and that contributes to the dialogue in productive ways. I've seen you so it over the years, and keep the "hope" in my heart that you find your way back from the self imposed separation now occurring. I see the group making the heroic effort not only to tell you in many different ways, the effects of your behavior, but allow you the space to figure it out.
