Rod's right. I never thought I could "do group" either. It just wasn't part of my nature, just as I'm a great tutor but a lousy teacher. One-on-one is where I do best.
But I ended up in a group anyway (a substance abuse thing) and I found it helped. It was a long time before I actively (for me) participated, but even at first I got a fair bit just listening. It's not as anonymous as babble, but it does help to see in the flesh that you're not alone.
Interesting aside. Though I don't "do group" well and the others seemed much more comfortable with it, I'm the only one to my knowledge that didn't relapse.
