Our friend group has always bonded over trying new skincare products and sharing routines, but one friend developed severe contact dermatitis and now feels left out when we talk about ingredients and treatments that could hurt her skin. We all feel awkward about our shared hobby suddenly being something that excludes someone we care about, but we don't know how to include her without making her condition the focus.
More people experience this than they realize.
A cherished group activity becomes complicated when one member can no longer safely participate, requiring the group to navigate inclusion without tokenism.
