Starting a new job

[NylaCAT]

I've started a new job, and I'm anxious about people not liking me because I'm quiet and reserved. People are annoyed with the way I answer questions and with people assuming I'm lazy. I can sense and feel it, but I want to keep my job and feel integrated at my job. But I can already feel myself and others not talking to me. It sucks it happens at every job and eventually, I just quit but I really want this time to be different.

If anyone has any articles or tips I can read and implement that would be great.

Whatever you do, be yourself. You deserve to be who you really are. I'd suggest too that when you start a new job, you'll meet a handful of nice people. And it's funny that my best work friends were those quieter people who I met a few months down the road. For me, the first people I meet aren't usually the ones I really got along with.

my friend. I don’t know of any articles to help . I struggle with some of the same problems. I’m not quiet and reserved but my brain works so fast many times I would give answers that don’t sit well with others.

How did I counteract that? By out caring and out trying others. It’s definetly not easy to get out of my own head and sounds like you struggle their also.

For me it can be much more difficult to say just get over it. Be yourself , so I just outworked everyone to make up for my shortcomings and suffer when my answers aren’t always great,

I’m bipolar with challenges. It’s going to happen, especially if my symptoms are elevated and I’m not feeling to hot.

All the best

Hi, most people want to talk about themselves so when you meet them ask them a question, like “Did you have a nice weekend” and they usually go on and on about their weekend. Try and smile as that helps. I sometimes think I know everything about you but you know nothing about me. Good luck xx
