Work anxiety

[mojojojo1323]

So everytime i get a new job i get anxiety.. Mostly social anxiety with my coworkers.. At first i try my best to chat with them but as soon as the days go by i keep having this anxiety about my work and how i talk to my peers.. I feel like i always dont belong. I feel like they dont like me... Thats why i keep quiet. Every night i cant sleep thinking i have to work the next day. And dragging myself. To work and im always have this anxiety to not do anything wrong when it comes to work. I feel like my supervisor is annoyed at me for asking too many questions... And im only 3 weeks new to this job but this always happen to me in every jobs that i had.

Have you guys experienced this?? Or is it just me

I know that you want everything to work out right, but really, all you can do is your best. I always asked plenty of questions when I had a new job, because I wanted to make sure I did it right the first time. There's nothing wrong with that. Your supervisor should realize that you are just being responsible, and that you care about doing your job right. Once you get the hang of things, you won't have to ask any more questions.

It's always tense being the new person in the group. You want everyone to like you, and you're afraid that they won't. But again, all you can do is be polite and considerate to them. The rest is up to them, because you've done all you can do.

Anxiety always puts our nerves on high alert, and we overthink and overreact to everything. Just try and relax and be yourself socially. If you give your job your best effort, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Take care,

thank youuu jkl5500!!! It's always been like this... Im just a quiet person most of the time.... But when i get comfortable with the person i can be really talkative...

And i have this resting bitch face.. That makes it even worse. Lol but really im a caring and friendly person.

It's just me and my social anxiety

I'm the same. I can relate. My orientation for my new job that i just got hired for today is on Thursday. I am excited and happy but i know once i get around others and co workers i will be nervous and anxious. So I'm right with ya! We can do this together even though your 3 weeks in!!!! I'm sure you will be a great worker😄

Wow, i couldn't agree more👌

I had that during my first job but just be yourself. Complement someone or introduce yourself. Eventually there will come a time when you chat with that person a little. It's okay. I didn't talk a lot to people i used to work with. It takes time. Are you on any anti anxiety meds?

Thank you Vonnah!! Im so glad some people can understand me. No im not. Havent gone to a threpist or a doctor regarding my anxiety/depression at all but my husband encourage me to do so. He is very alarmed but thats another topic.

Your welcome hun, your not alone! Yeah i understand. Well i kindly recommend those options. If you want to, speak to your doctor or ask for a referral to a therapist.

Stay strong! And keep working hard😜 💜
