How Can I Develop Relationships at Work

Hey all,

I have been at my job for about a year. I feel like most people do not like me at work. It seems they do not want to interact with me very much. I want to be friendly and interactive, but it makes me anxious. I also tend to be overwhelmed at work which probably makes me unapproachable. I can talk about one of my special interests (video games) very confidently with a few people. Does anyone have any tips?

Something that could help would be trying to manage your anxiety.  Remember of course, that they themselves could be a little nervous talking to someone new too. Finding common ground is always good, like you mentioned about video games. Asking open ended questions is something else you could try.

I’d say take your time and don’t put pressure on yourself. Making friends and building relationships can be hard enough as it is. Best of luck 🌹
