After you help Alexa overcome a challenging level she posts a message in the group
thanking you but expressing disappointment with other members for not responding
to her earlier. She shares feeling excluded and unseen, describing her experience as
isolating. Chris responds dismissively, suggesting Alexa didn't try hard enough and
questioning why anyone should help her, which seems to invalidate her feelings.
What can you write here to help foster an inclusive
environment?
Alexa, next time you need help, just send a private message. I'll help you out.
Don't bother with these people. They take this way too seriously.
Chris, maybe you didn't mean it, but not addressing Alexa's requests for help
could make others feel excluded. We should make sure everyone feels welcome
in this group.
Chris, that's not fair.Alexa is sharing her feelings and we need to respect that.
Let's try and figure out the reason why Alexa feels like that.It will make her feel
more included.
Alexa, Chris has a point. Most of us have been able to pass the level without
taking any help from anyone else. Maybe next time, keep trying to do it yourself
before asking for help in the group.
