Maxwell

Self-contained · Unmoved by the room · Never explains

Day to day — You run on an internal setting that does not move much with the mood of a room. Most people run on other people, checking whether they match the occasion. You do not check. You are already doing your thing.

Blind spot — The cost is that nobody knows. You do not explain, so people fill the silence themselves, and what they fill it with is almost always worse than the truth: not interested, annoyed, written them off. You were busy.

Up close — The misunderstanding never gets corrected, because correcting it needs the exact thing you do not do, which is say something.

At work — You are steadiest on work one person can carry end to end. In a role built on constant syncing you get read as uncooperative.
