Sorry, I meant wince.

My opinion is that people who are more drastically affected by outside circumstances than the rest of their group, and who have their own private way of suffering, unshared with the rest of the unit, those people don't tend to be team-players and rarely volunteer leadership or take responsibility.

Or the one that fixes the bus.
