I’d rather keep it to myself to avoid conflict. I will try to lead the discussion in a way that everyone can express their opinion without pressure. I will remain silent, but if someone else says what I think, I will support them.

I see it as an opportunity to improve if the criticism makes sense.

I’m trying to quickly engage in conversations and be natural. First, I observe the dynamics, and gradually I join in. I am waiting for someone to approach me, and only then will I get more involved. I keep to the background because I don't know how I will be accepted. I am looking for someone I feel a connection with, and I will start talking to them.

What will you do if someone interrupts you and doesn't give you the chance to finish speaking?

Select an answer:
