text: However, some people say that being in a group might intimidate you, and you would be less likely to speak up about your issues, and this argument is valid. Some people are afraid of groups of people, even friends, and would rather talk one-on-one or even not talk at all, as confrontation to their problems may scare them. These people are called introverts. People who enjoy group settings, even with strangers, are called extroverts. Introverts really show a problem with the group setting solution: people just may not want to tell people what's wrong. Also, a group may not always have good input. If you find a group of people who do bad things, such as drugs or engaging in unsafe activities, may be less as likely to give better feedback to your problem. Whereas as if you find a group of educated, safe, and well-wishing people, they may be better at giving you advice. But this is incorrect. Introverts always have a breaking point, I know this from personal experience. At some point they have to let everything out, and that is when a group setting is important, because if they are alone, they might do something dangerous to themselves. People who do those aforementioned 'bad things' will have experience with what happens when you don't seek help for your problems. You turn to self-medication; drugs.
