Scenario

When family activities change to accommodate one person's sensitivity

Our family game nights used to be chaotic and competitive and hilarious, but now everyone's afraid to be too competitive because my brother gets really upset when he loses. We've all started letting him win or avoiding games altogether, but the whole thing has lost its energy and I don't think he even realizes what's happening.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group has collectively decided to manage one person's emotions by diminishing their own experience, creating a dynamic that serves no one.
