- surprisetalk 4y agoSame! I started doing it this year, and it's... surprisingly difficult. I got tired of devoting diffuse attention to meetings that don't really need me. So I've been slowly disappearing. --- [1] https://taylor.town/decline-invitations https://taylor.town/decline-invitations

- rodolphoarruda 4y agoThis is a good one. In some company cultures, unfortunately, recurring meetings are group therapies in disguise.
- awesomegoat_com 4y agoOf course. And group therapies are great! Especially, if you are trying to get a rid of addiction or get over some thing from your past. But group therapy make a little sense for a person that is in a different stage of his/her life. In other words, calm and happy person in Europe, cannot help structurally unhappy person in the US, just by the means of happy hour meeting.
