I’m not sure if this really belongs in this forum but here goes…….
I joined a health & well being support group some weeks ago and we were encouraged to swap contact details with one another, if we so wished, to enable is to check in with each other etc., and several have formed lovely friendships. A chat group was set up so basically anyone in the group can follow conversations
But there’s one individual who NEVER asks how anyone else is doing but will frequently message everyone else with full details of how they personally are not getting on well, they are failing, how they’re not doing what the clinical instructor advised because he is wrong.
Several of us have offered diversion tactic suggestions and methods of support but these all just get poo poo’d and dismissed.
The negativity is starting to grind me down to be honest…….we have all offered help, support and coping ideas only to be met with ‘oh, I can’t……I’m not…..I don’t’ .
I just wished they would actually message the group and say ‘hi, hope you’re all ok, how are you getting on?’
No doubt I’m on a hiding to nothing ……..what would your thoughts be? The sessions are funded by the NHS and I feel that this negative person is basically wasting money.
