When meeting others I, like some lack some confidence just in case you put your foot in it. Political correctness is one thing, the other is simply if you cannot explain what you mean in their language you may be judged to be anti something when you are quite the opposite. The fear of being judged is gets stronger.

On the other hand before retirement my job meant I had to communicate to other with an expert in my role confidence & also question other especially when I really thought something was just not right.

Meeting with strangers is rather awkward especially when the conversation is something that is not part of your greater knowledge for example like art. I like it but couldn't talk with confidence about it. I am sure many have the same. The newsletter makes sense, the problem is the places to use the skillset which actually is part of the lost natural human behaviour are reducing. It may be because of the internet, working from home is one aspect. When people are in a comfortable environment like walking in the countryside or a pub it generally comes naturally and breaks down barriers. The result is positive. Hope this makes some sort of sense.
