What I mean by this is, do you often chose not to speak badly of someone or something they’ve done out of fear that they will somehow find out? Whether it’s saying it to another person face-to-face, or even maybe while you’re talking on the phone in public and moving around other people?

I guess this is more of an anxiety thing but I’ve found that I avoid saying bad things about people simply because you never know who might be listening, or who might pass on that information (whether they mean to do it with bad intentions or not). I’m always afraid that I’m somehow going to cause a confrontation for myself later
