The Art of the Day is: the art of taking turns

Interesting. I was part of a new group last night, and we had no firm agenda, we were kind of exploring what it was that we were going to be, agreeing that we were going to be, and overall I think it went well. The exception was when someone said something that I didn't want to talk about, didn't want to deal with, and all the tension in my body went into my neck muscles, and I guess I tried once or twice to move them on to another topic, but other people picked up the thread, and I just sat there in tension. Eventually we moved on, but I'm still wondering about the group dynamics of it all, and trying to tell if I've got my place right. Was I "in charge" and should have tried harder to change the topic, was I the only one who was uncomfortable, and therefore should have spoken up for myself, or let it go? And why did it bug me?
