A post from another thread got me thinking...... Have you ever experienced this and, if so, what ideas do you have to diffuse negativity?
That is true. I have had one person who doesn't like the way I run our uke jams. Doesn't like our music. Doesn't even like what we wear when we perform. And guess what, out of three Christmas performances, this person came to one. This person is openly rude during our jam sessions. Then, they had the audacity to corner me and tell me I'm not professional because I don't make them feel like a "valued member of the group". It hurt my feelings a bit, then I realized some people just don't want to be happy. I can't cater to one person. I am not a professional ukulele group leader, I'm just doing the best I can. Sorry to rant, but I put a lot of heart and effort into our group, and it makes me mad that someone would show up just to piss all over the fun the rest of us are trying to have.
The selfish people are those who sit back and let the leaders do all the work and then complain about the service.
Anyone who is leading a ukulele group should be supported, not told they are being selfish. They have usually put in so much time and effort to share the experiences, there is no way they could be called selfish...
