Unwelcome

     Sometimes we get involved with something and immediately get an 'unwelcomed' feeling. This happens fairly often, unfortunately. However, we may not be able to change what people think about us, we can change how we think about the situation. For example, if you just joined a new group and you feel like the people around you don't accept this; give it time. This doesn't ultimately mean everyone will like you by the end, if anyone at all, but it will begin to show people who may become more accepting. Although, there may be cases were no one will ever accept you into the group, the best you can do is remember what you are there to achieve. These people around you may not be the best support group, but if you just leave, you're letting them win, and that is giving up. We can't just give up because people around us don't like us, if we did. nothing would ever get done. It is difficult when you feel unwelcomed (maybe unliked) but at some point that feeling may just go away, and maybe it won't. You'll just have to push through it, keep looking out at your goal. If one or two people take the time to be your friends that's great, if not, that's alright, you still have friends outside of what you're doing who would support what you are doing. Don't give up because of feeling unwelcome to a group, work hard and achieve what you set to achieve.. If you give up, you are going to be the one unsatisfied. Just remember everyone can have their own thoughts, but you can make your mind up whether you want to sit back and take it, or stand up and say "I got better things to be worrying about".
