I went to my first AA meeting last Friday night. I have many years experience in another fellowship. This meeting is very close to my home and very convenient. I observed crosstalk and talking during shares. It was difficult for me being a newcomer. Several of the people stared at me during their whole share and it made me very uncomfortable. It might seem like it was well-meaning, but it didn't feel good at all. It felt like ego. Anyways, when I shared, there was so much talking going on that the guy next to me - not the chairperson - had to shush the group. It was weird and really, really, a turn-off.
