Anxiety

You are not supposed to look anxious,
so you fake it. 

You micro-manage.

Create a crisis that can be fixed.
Fire somebody.

Create a task force.
Hide.

Flirt.

Drink too much.
Let tangential remarks come out of your mouth.

Take too strong an action on a less important issue.
Talk to a receptive somebody two or three layers down
who will only comfort you.

You make them uncomfortable and
very, very, pleased to be your confidante-----

so pleased,

they will have to share what you said to prove it.
