For you, the world may seem like a dangerous place to be yourself.

When clocking into work, you may feel like you have to put on your “work face” because your professional environment is probably full of judgment, criticism, and perception management, and it feels unsafe to be your 100% authentic self.

You believe it is risky to remove your mask and to reveal your true self at work. Because of this, you may tend to either stick to your own world or go the other direction and be very intentional in putting on an “act.”

Overall, you probably feel like the true you is under-appreciated, so you hide your inner truth and perspective.
