There are times when I want to say things but the words just float inside my head. I know the exact words I want to utter but when my mouth opens, words escape me.
It is a different scenario at home. I can spit 100 words per second without a rest and yet, I get tongue-tied at work. I was not like that before. I just noticed that when the power-grabbing people started sprouting like mushrooms around me, things changed. I am having speech impediments all of a sudden.
It has nothing to do with fear because I am not afraid of them but I am so conscious of my performance review and I still want my job. I am afraid that I may snap one day and I will greatly regret it. The power-play at work is becoming very unbearable but I have no escape. Only words escape me right now but I can't.
I think this is a good problem to have. See, if it were me, I'd probably say something I shouldn't have...better off having nothing to say. Don't worry, it will balance out. Power people don't stay that way for long, someone will knock them off their soapbox! Hang in there!
