I'm fairly good at *making friends* with people. I'm also good at getting focused work done solo. I find it *very* hard to get cognitively intense work done *with* people without feeling flustered/pressured. Any advice on this?

The canonical example, for me, is making an important decision in a group. My "get along, create rapport" and "think logically and criticize" modules are hard to turn on at the same time!

Is the concern that you'll piss people off and harm the relationship by speaking your mind? Could you incorporate a consideration of how likely that is into your critical analysis and then only rely on that part of your brain? Seems to me that risk should be low most of the time.
