I am bad at socializing with the other people at my unit
Posted on
Don’t know what other subreddit to put this so I’ll put it here. I’m in a pretty small and quiet unit, not many people. My job is one of the more nerdy ones, and there’s only a couple other of people with similar jobs, both much higher rank. We sit in an office disconnected from the rest of the station, and often the other two aren’t even there, so often it’s just me, doing nothing paperwork and maintenance.
By the nature of my job, I don’t interact with other people much, and it’s also way more cushy than others. I have to go down and attempt to socialize but I don’t feel I do a good job and that they dislike me. I’m only a year and change in, and I also don’t feel that confident in my job or skills. My boss, who has the same job as me, seems to get along fine with everyone else, so it’s probably not the job that I can blame.
What should I do? I hate being isolated like this, and every time I try to strike up I conversation or anything like that it always feels awkward to me. Does being in an easier job really put me in a worse position? Or is it my age? I’m not even old to drink, for reference. Thank you!
