Good to see you don't question it yourself. Don’t you think it’s because you’ve already made it clear that you contribute? Good to see you don’t question it yourself.

They all require varying degrees of participation and all are held during the workday. I do what I feel I'm capable of, from making and bringing a dish, helping to set up or simpy being present. I feel perfectly comfortable is simply sitting and listening, just soaking up the atmosphere without using up all of my energy. Thus far no one has questioned my "style" of participation and I still am able to feel like a part of the group.
