You know the moment. The room is full. Someone above you says something that's just wrong enough to matter — a plan with a hole in it, a timeline nobody can hit, a claim you know from experience won't survive contact with reality. Your chest tightens. A sentence forms in your head, fully assembled, ready to go. And then nothing. The meeting moves on. You spend the next hour replaying it, furious at yourself. Here's what you're probably telling yourself: *I'm not brave enough.* That's the wrong diagnosis. You're not lacking courage.
