GROUP DYNAMICS
I DONT WANT TO BE HERE
I have more important things to do
WE NEED A MORE STRUCTURED MEETING
Its becoming a waste of time
I NEVER TALK AT MEETINGS
People dont like me, I mumble
I WANT TO DISCUSS CULTURAL IMPACT
I AM NOT AS SMART AS THE OTHERS
I WONDER WHATS FOR TEA TONIGHT
I knew I couldnt contribute
I DONT LIKE THE TEAM LEADER
I WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER TEAM LEADER
He reminds me of my old headmaster
I am angry I wasnt picked
