At work, you disagree with someone more powerful than you or just anothe employee who is aligned with the powerful people, or maybe you disclose privately or secretly some problem you or someone has, and your boss asks you, ‘Oh, are you OK?’ in front of everybody (or maybe privately but documented?). ‘You don’t usually sound this way. Are you out of it or angry?' Is there something in question about your safety (not just physical but emotional)? It makes you look like you don't have good judgement at that time. You are less credible. Each time they do it to you, it adds to the narative that ‘Uh oh, this person really needs help.' Maybe they need to share your private details. Maybe they need to monitor you, or at least watch you for other things. It makes you look like the problem. It makes you the problem.
