Introductions don’t fit the agenda you set, thank you.

    I understand social anxiety and such. Public speaking literally gives me the sweats, for instance. I’ve still had to lead meetings and give presentations.

    I assume this anxiety is common and the root of a lot of the goofy shit you see where you’re supposed to name your favorite flavor of jello or sportsball team or whatever. Of course, some of it is corporate NPCs being zombies.

    The forced introduction may be helping the lead personalize you so that they can more effectively communicate. I.e. they’re shitting themselves from stress and adrenaline at having to lead this stupid meeting and getting an idea of who you are will calm them down.
