I am so conflict-avoidant that I’m now at the point that most people in my life don’t actually have any idea I’m even close to being a commie. I really want to start expressing myself more openly and honestly - especially since I feel like I’m actually harming my mental health by not saying how I feel - but I always feel held back. Any tips on improving this are appreciated.

"Breaking the law" to get HRT broke my ability to understand which rules I should respect and which I shouldn't, and having to work in close proximity with so many old engineers taught me that they are morons and I am better than them. Now I just do whatever, including saying whatever comes to mind since it can't be any worse than anything anyone else could say.
