So I went in to work today and it was my first week. All the other employees were having their own private conversations in their little circle and I was just standing there like an idiot. I hate my personality it just feels so boring. I don’t understand how I can be myself around people when I have absolutely no clue who I am. It probably makes no sense but I just need advice on how to just put myself out there more. Anytime I try to be outgoing I just feel annoying and I get all insecure. What should I do? Is this normal?
Difficult situation for you. Just take your time and don’t force it. Be friendly to those around you and smile at people you come in contact with. It takes a while to find your feet in a new situation but just remember that most people are basically nice and you will soon make friends.
Yes, don't rush. When you get chances, ask them a little about themselves, work etc... you don't need to entertain everyone, just be friendly. It takes time to get to know people properly.
