You've never had a person or two in the group that was sensitive?
>I've never thought about having to impress each individual member
It's not about 'impressing everyone.' It's more about being conscious that everyone may be listening to your comments and/or judging you. This gets worse the more anxious person you are, and/or if you were an introvert.
I don't think it's a great idea to tell those people to 'get over it' either as we used to in the 80s.
