Initiate the process of reconciliation

As a new member of a certain group, I have experienced the process of acclimation. It has been challenging and filled with unexpected hurdles. I have navigated these difficulties. The pressure and frustration have built up. I feel overwhelmed and even on the verge of a breaking point.
I know that giving in to these negative feelings would harm my overall well-being. It would also affect my integration within this group. Instead, I am focusing on managing these internal struggles. I aim to ease the turmoil within myself. This way, I can fully embrace the potential of this new experience.

Upon further reflection, I realized that the internal turmoil I was experiencing was more significant than I had initially recognized. To find a resolution, I spent time contemplating the situation. I concluded that the best way to alleviate the tension was to take the initiative. I decided to be the first to apologize to others in the group, even if I was not directly responsible for the issues.
I acknowledged that I might have played a role in causing the turbulence. From there, things slowly settle well in the right places.
