Hi,
I am always late for AA meetings because I am very anxious about talking to people. I have had people in AA compomise my anonymity; and I have had many people ask me pointed questions that make me uncomfortable. And I was just sitting one or two chairs over.
The solution is: get over it. Get over people making you uncomfortable.
The problem is: this is one of the main reasons why I drink. I am an alcolholic, but I also have some quirks. I walk in quietly. I suppose it looks like I'm rude, but I have my reasons.
AA can't seem to accept that some people don't want to spill their guts to strangers and talk in front of large crowds. It's not therapeutic to me.
This post is way off track; I'm sorry!
