I've never been confident in much.

So if you'd have met me 20 years ago, you would have thought I was the least confident woman you'd ever met because I was bullied when I was younger.

And that knocks confidence.

I have always had a sense of fairness.

I now know that that's due to

ADHD, but I didn't know that before.

So I've got this real sense of justice and fairness.

And so my opinions mainly come from that, from this need for fairness.

And so even though I haven't been confident, I've always said my opinions.

And so when I came online, even though I was scared, I was a bit scared of negativity online when I first started.

not enough for me to not say my opinions and probably I'd have had a much easier ride if I didn't have that ADHD fairness thing going on because then I wouldn't have needed to say all those opinions and sometimes although it has been good you know when you tell your opinions you do become a thought leader much quicker than someone that doesn't but it also would have given me a much easier first few years if I didn't would you go back and change it though

Yeah.

Yeah, because now I understand it more and I'm not so naive.

I would.

I would have those opinions and I would say them in a different way.

I think at the beginning I used to call out things too close to calling out people.

Right.

And even though I never, ever mentioned a person, people could.

Yeah, and I think and I don't think I was always doing it.

I was doing it from this sense of injustice place, which I don't like, but I've learned a lot.
