Or this is probably just me…
I am currently working at our firm for a little over a year now. And because of the sudden shift in culture (due to immigration), I came in appearing timid, with the initial intention of observing how things work around the new environment. I didn’t know that it came across distant, unapproachable, unaccessible. Now, I think my colleagues hate me for that. They come across cold and dismissive whenever I try to approach them for work-related questions. I feel like I’m quick witted so I believe I easily catch on things. And what I’m getting is that they don’t take me seriously because I appear not confident in most things. At the same time, hates me for not trying to socialize.
