[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah op don't send the email. write it out on a paper and then burn it or tear it up and forget it. That's more dignified and you won't have to worry about blow back. Which you would definitely get. Either abuse or ignored. Neither is a good experience so don't open yourself up to it. Please.[/quote]

OP here. I hear you and I agree. There was a time when I really wanted to send them something but my therapist just kept suggesting that I wait a couple weeks and then revisit it. As time went on and we discussed it, I realized that nothing good would come of it.

Mostly I am looking for things I can do on my own, or ways to frame the whole thing in my mind to help me move on. Specifically I just hate these feelings of shame/embarassment that come over me whenever I think about it. That's why I say ostracized -- that's really what it felt and still feels like. I sometimes worry that other people in my life -- coworkers or neighbors -- will find out about this somehow and think that I'm a huge loser. Especially since the group was so large. It is a very powerless feeling. I really don't feel like I *did* anything to deserve this, other than just not particularly like a couple people that others did like. It is so surreal to me.

My hope is that it fades with time. It is encouraging to read the comments on this threat. Thank you everyone for being supportive.[/quote]
