I'm at school right now, with two other students. I'm studying commercial and advertising or how to translate it from Norwegian to English. However, the subject is all about teamwork and I've been assigned to work with three others. It's been 4 weeks, and I have to work with them 5 more weeks before the year ends. We're going to have a presentation on November 11, and right now I feel not included in the group. The girl on my group, I believe she looks down on me and thinks that I'm worthless. We barely know each other from the outside apart from school. When they talk about ideas and what to do with the project, they argue with each other but they do not consult me or include me in their discussion. It's like my opinion and thougts are worthless.

I feel excluded from the group and I don't know what to do to feel welcome, or to feel included. Or I could just be paranoid.

It really sucks and it doesn't motivate me to work at all if I feel excluded.

Have you tried to offer up some of your ideas and critcisms/advice? maybe they feel like they'd be bothering you by consulting you? thats just a thought though lol. And how do you know that she looks down on you for sure? its real easy to misinterpret sometimes so I think maybe if you tried to be more outgoing and offer up your opinions on stuff regardless of worry on who thinks what LOL 8)

Show your dominance by urinating all over the room. This will mark your territory and prove you are the alpha-male. You may also want to try beating your chest and the ground while making loud grunting noises.

In your next meeting discuss your horrible new idea and see how they respond. By horrible I mean for you to make something up.

You need to come up with some very intelligent idea that hasn't been thought of yet. They will find worth in your ideas after you share something that's worthy of their interest.

and right now I feel not included in the group.

Welis

It's either:

1.) You're not doing anything relevant for the group

2.) You're really doing something for the group but they don't listen and don't agree on your ideas or contributions

Which one is it?

Your group has a silent directer. Are you taking things personal? bingo
