Scenario

When social groups become unintentional support groups

Our book club started as intellectual discussion but has turned into therapy sessions where two people share really personal stuff and the rest of us don't know how to respond or redirect without seeming cold. We're all conflict-avoidant people who signed up to talk about novels, not navigate each other's emotional lives.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A gathering has evolved beyond its original purpose in ways that make some members uncomfortable, but the informal nature makes it hard to establish boundaries without seeming rejecting.
