    Im not very in tune with my feelings, so it came as somewhat of a surprise to me during a high stress period where I had defend myself on Zoom at work under duress in front of a panel with an audience of over 200 people in the chat… where I could feel my skin tingling and my vision starting to fuzz up at the corners, and could barely hear myself talk.

    It took all that I had to breathe slowly and calmly, and a colleague later told me that I seemed fine in my presentation.

    Someone can seem okay on the outside, but what theyre experiencing on the inside might be some crazy thing that just does not show.
