[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I ask because I’ve been involved in many peer groups this year due to addiction within our home environment and in doing so I’ve come across this many times and just don’t feel outnumbered as in it’s expected to be that way. I’m trying to gain a better understanding so I know what is being referenced for instance are people saying they feel overwhelmed but using the term outnumbered? So when I share that I don’t understand they just stare or don’t understand what I don’t understand. I’m not sure if I’m not taking into consideration that it’s gender differences, personalities or age differences.

I’ve always struggled with some social nuances so I figured writing on here could help me better communicate.

I have struggles of my own with day to day issues and try my best to build a network of friends and acquaintances but there are certain terms or phrases that still throw me off or that I don’t understand how to best share how I relate.

For instance in conversation it can be referenced 9/10 in new therapy settings  but when I respond that I don’t feel that way, I would say overwhelmed at times but not necessarily feeling outnumbered? Does that make sense? Even if I am I don’t have an emotional or feeling associated with the term outnumbered whereas for me I associate an emotion or feeling with overwhelmed?
