- I’m convinced everyone notices when I’m anxious and is quietly judging me for it
- I’m dead certain that if I spoke up, or said no, or let people see me struggle, it would go badly
- Instead of just saying what I need, I drop hints and wait to see if they notice
- I’m finally ready to actually do the thing I’ve been dreading and just watch what really happens
- If a friend brought me this exact dilemma I’d know in two seconds what they should do, but stuck inside my own version I just go in circles
