Feeling Embarrassed When Compared to Others

Jasmine

I'm 26 and started a new job in November which is a job share, I have half an hour of cross over time with my counterpart on a Friday and I always end up feeling ashamed seeing how well she interacts with others and how well liked she is, knowing that I don't chat to the same level she does or laugh along with people. Does anyone else have have anxiety while they watch others interact because they wish they knew the right things to say?

  • Being able to interact well with others is overrated.  Being able to do the actual job also matters.

    I will always remember the new member of staff at my local chippy.  She was very friendly and chatty with her colleagues.  She was so busy interacting and being sociable, she forgot to include the fish with my fish and chips.
