Thanks for the answer. There’s two points this realistic conversation make me think of: one would be that this would put a little crosshair on me (or larger depending on the socio-cultural aspect you mentioned) and ultimately it would end up in the same counterfactual scenario you proposed. I can’t realistically take as much time as I need to fix the situation and will end up ultimately passing it or breaking down.

Thanks again for answering, but I’m still struggling to understand bringing personal baggage in a work scenario where deep friendship is not involved.
