I suck at social skills with people who have power over me. This is pretty consistent over 10 years with lots of different types of people.
Typically starts after I get some negative feedback, I feel like I have to be ultra careful with everything I say and it just feels awkward.
I really need to solve this as my work increasingly involves high level executives. Curious if there are any good resources on this.
I often fantasize about my prior career which paid poorly but i was basically my own boss. I don’t have this problem in other situations where I’m pretty comfortable.
