Has silence become my new speech?

Rambling mind...
I was told by a friend not to ask question to avoid making enemies...Since when asking questions created enemies I wonder? At times like these I wish I were back in UCSI where I had freedom to express myself in my classroom, no one made enemies over marks and finals, questions only made us better debaters and competitiveness was healthy, not detrimental to one's emotional or mental state. We fought over silly things, argued on minute details but I believe we left everything in the classroom.
Now, avoidance seems to be the new way of being civil; Ignorance is the new meticulousness; silence, the new speech.
I may have my own share of dissatisfaction with UCSI but I know my classroom environment gave me the liberty to express my opinions and have my say. Here, layer upon layer, the masking tape seems to be added on as my journey to a degree comes to an end.
I am heavily burdened with my unexpressed thoughts and these restrictions have taken a toll on me. I am not who I used to be. No doubt I was different in UCSI and not as bold as I am today, but these remaining semesters seem to turn me into the mute I once was.
