I'm just more afraid of isolating myself by having a different opinion that I don't say anything even if I know what to say. I could talk casually if I knew anyone who had the same professional experience for example. Everyone I'm around has the same professional experience more or less, but it's not the experience I've had. That's all people talk about…or it's about a sub-field that I know about and can understand but I don't have the depth of knowledge to really contribute to the conversation. I don't mind listening up to a certain point, but I'd love to be involved in a conversation I can actually fully participate in. I'm trying to think what those conversations would be and those may be difficult to find with my peers.
