When I first started out in my career I’d share ideas in meetings and they’d get brushed aside, but then a colleague would say the same thing and everyone jumped on board. It was frustrating and I had to learn to speak up and to back my ideas with confidence so they stuck. Have you ever had a moment where you felt unheard, and how did you handle it?

There have been times in meetings when I've had to struggle to hold the floor. So I worked on various techniques, refusing to let people interrupt me. It can come down to being patient and stubborn and just making sure you hold your ground and make your point. Over time people realize they can't bulldoze you.

I would love to know what your technique is on not allowing people to interrupt. I really want to find the balance of being able to do that whilst still having
Good relationships at work!

I really haven’t nailed this skill down yet. It’s all too easy for me to just let people talk and not participate.

I totally understand that, I am slowly getting out the phase but getting there! It’s hard to get out of for sure

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?
