Connections
I have been struggling to find connections within the group in the last few weeks. There were a couple of people whom I found myself drawn to, but when I tried to initiate some further relationships with them, I was bounced outside. It frustrated me to see they have established a much stronger connections with others. I felt left out and lonely.
Funny thing happened since last week, after I gave up finding connections with people. I had five connections and three of them are strong. One shows a great care/support when I opened up my weakness, one stood with me in the cold rain to listen what I had to say and the other the vibe/trust we have for each other are mutual. I can't wait to spend more time with all of them, especially with the last one :)
I also appreciate those two who took the initiative to establish the connections with me. One took the interest in what I am going through and the other told me we share a lot in common and initiated the idea to work together in our spare time. I feel honoured and look forward to finding out how our relationship progresses in the next few weeks :)

Do you talk a lot about establishing connections within the group or is it just you wishing to do that at the moment?
When i try to establish connection with certain people it somehow seems like I am wanting too much (due to institutional roles).
It's sort of both.
The group I am in is a very safe environment to experiment different ways of engaging with ppl. Thus, it's easier to make deep connections when everyone is so open and trustworthy. For example, I have shared a lot of things that I normally wouldn't share with someone whom I had just met.
