Worry pet and started using Lyra

Lexapro 👍👍

This is literally my EXACT situation. I’m so happy I saw this post because I also have no clue what to do about it and I just don’t actively try to anything and continue to feel bad about myself. I also feel like probably all but one coworker hates me and I feel like they talk bad about me. I’ve never ever been rude or tried to snap or anything but I think I’m so annoying asking questions and not able to help with making drinks and always apologizing. Even physically walking around I feel like a nuisance and I’m just taking up space and getting in everyone’s way…. No clue what to do and I’m very shy at work. I always apologize (even when I don’t need to and it wasn’t my fault) and say thank you every time I ask someone for help. I also am making sure I know everyone’s name so that when I ask them they maybe feel appreciated that I know their name and want their guidance idk Bc I don’t think most of them know my name or how to pronounce it when I have my name tag on. I also feel like such an odd one out of the group I hate it

Therapy tbh

It will be okay :) Your coworkers were new once too, and they didn't start out as flawless experts; they started out just as nervous and intimidated as you feel now.

Try to stay as mindful as you can during all interactions with your coworkers, if they answer a question of yours or offer guidance, always thank them. We're all stuck together in a small space for many hours; kindness and a positive tone of voice go a long way to keeping the aggression and pettiness away. If you're not sure what to do next and are standing there, always be asking "How can I help?" Your coworkers know you are new, and their expectations of you should keep that in mind. The best way you can be liked by your coworkers is to learn, as quickly and thoroughly as you can, so you can best assist the team, so don't be afraid to ask LOTS of questions!

Finally, if it ever happens that a coworker seems to not like you, remember that it may actually have nothing to do with you at all -- working with people is just a tiny part of their lives, we have no idea what things are like once they go home. They might be in a bad mood from family or school stress, or any number of things. If that's the case, or you think it might be, you can try letting them know, "Hey, are you okay? I'm listening if you need to vent."

You will do great :)

You’re only a month in? I PROMISE it’ll get better. You’ll get better as muscle memory sinks in and I can pretty much guarantee no one is irritated with you. Everyone has been a baby barista once and everyone went through the same stresses. It’s a LOT thrown at you at once with super minimal training since really a lot of the job is repetition. Time is your friend. You got this!
