RE: From outsider to part of the team: The five stages of the social experience in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Social dynamics are fascinating, I liked how you described your "5-step integration" to the group. Great it turned out good for you!
I haven't experienced such integration with anything but a core group of a few friends that has been formed during the recent years, but I'm fine with it for they really are the one's that matter to me.
@celestal, quality over quantity, as always! :-)
As an introvert, I identify a lot with what you wrote. In fact this is a pretty new experience for me (having all these new good friends), since I usually form deeper bonds with "isolated" people (as in they are not part of the same group).
Ok, just kidding :D
Good thing we introverted still have some capacity to reach outward from ourselves; we all still need that human connection.
