a few weeks ago. We’re still learning the ropes and aren’t quite sure how things run. On the first day, we walked up to two women who were waiting with their children for the activity to start. I politely asked them a question about protocol and explained we were new.Following that response with an introduction seemed inappropriate so I turned to their children and introduced myself and my daughter to them. We talked with the children until the class began.
Remember this when you see someone being excluded or alienated – just one friendly person can relieve the painful sense of feeling invisible. The unkind treatment I received became a means to gain awareness, compassion, and connection. When I shared my story of rejection on my, there were hundreds of comments and private messages—some quite painful—confirming the need to belong is unmet for many people in our society. In addition to those who shared their painful stories of exclusion, there were people who shared helpful actions and roles they’d taken to be an includer and make others feel welcome.
“No,” I confessed. “That task is daunting to me because I am directionally challenged,” I laughed, but not really joking.
