Worrying about reputation rather than character then? Do you give other people such considerations when they're speaking but not yourself, or do you judge other people (like you judge yourself) if you don't get everything 100% clear to someone even when there's inadequate time to do so?

Perhaps needing to learn to forgive yourself for "looking stupid," when there's a reasonable reason that you realize if having enough time you could correct or clarify it; part of the extreme difficulty and hard work to grow when being a conscious individual who feels things strongly-cares a lot.

I am pretty sure I view both myself and others critically, especially when an assertion is made.

In general, I just do not like a lot of situations which are time-limited. I have been this way for many years.

Also, when I have nothing interesting to say, I would prefer to not say anything and listen instead.

In real-life situations, I much prefer one-on-one conversations to groups. Not sure if that is a consequence of any of the above.
