Nope. I have a smart ass mouth that passes for teasing in the Black community and probably harassment outside of it lmao. I cannot imagine saying how I really feel at the office, or even speaking in my normal tone of voice.
Hmm very interesting question. I do feel like I am genuinely myself at work. However, I am a little more professional at work than I am at home obviously. I tend to leave some of my goofiness and loudness at home when I go to work.
Yep! Myself, but also being aware of my surroundings.
I tend to be very friendly outside of work and make friends all the time. When it comes to working, I don't like mixing those things.
I used to be like this as well. You really do have to be careful who you make friends with at work and what you tell them. If I have learned anything over the years its that no matter how good of friends you think you are, some people will still throw you under the bus to save their own behind.
I'm a little too sensitive and emotionally vulnerable outside of work. I try my best to stifle it all in so as to not cloud my judgement while on duty.
Quite the contrary! I've worked hard to feel comfortable enough in my skin to stop making myself little. Just take space and be unapologetically yourself.
I can’t be myself at work unfortunately. I’m a sharp shooter, I tell it like it is and my face says everything first. I do it respectfully, but some still can’t handle my bluntness.
I leave behind my opinions - I have lots of them but I keep my head down and don't say anything
I'm trying to be more of myself - I tend to hide, get freaked out and not really express myself. I'm trying to be more confident in my opinions and roles
