SCENARIO 1: Group of 4 female friends
-ladies get together catching up on their lives and families and what their future plans are. -they were quite interested in what each of them had to say and accepting of each other.
One of the ladies I noticed though always seemed to be on the outside of the group. This person seemed very reserved and just went with the flow. She never seemed to be as involved with the group as the other three were with each other. I found that she preferred to listen to more of what was going on with the others.
At one stage there was a pause and one of the friends spoke to this quiet person as almost as if to invite her to join in with the conversation. This person almost seemed embarrassed that she was being taken notice of and tried again to move the conversation away from her. Within a matter of moments the conversation was again turned to the rest of the group.
