I feel suffocatedš in crowded places, especially when there’s loud music and constant chatter. I find it hard to speak up in those situations, and organizing or participating in events isn’t really my strength. People often assume I’m dumb because I stay quiet. Is this a bad quality?

Iām unsure how to handle this because I work in an IT company, and this environment feels out of sync with who I am.
You are like the swan in the company of kingfishers. Don’t try to be like them. Instead walk with your head held high towards high

(1) What is the limit to tolerance, titiksha, when it comes to adjusting with others? Some seem to take advantage of one’s tolerance and kindness. When do we know that tolerance has reached its limit? Understanding the idea of tolerance rightly is of a great help both in practical and spiritual life.
