She decided she wanted to publish her writing “during a panic attack on the commute”, and did a “sprint Google” to find out how to go about it.

Each of those people has struggled in the workplace because of how their diversity is perceived, just like Millie struggles with people viewing her as rude or emotional. My sense is that the author intuitively understood those links but failed to grasp how best to enable others to do so.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. To disrupt our warped perception of social norms, Millie introduces us to the protein model of teamwork where unlike people, proteins recognise and respect the need for difference and in turn, we should also learn to embrace and harness our true personality rather than denying or masking it.

Of course part of the subjective experience for many is a judgmental temperament; we can’t fault someone for a personality trait. And that it’s OK to feel weird in other parts, because I know that this part will anchor me in feeling human for the rest of my life. There is so much to learn from what we see and what we don’t see as people, and my unique perspective can shed light on previously overlooked connections.
