How can I improve my workplace social skills as a new intern?
I recently joined an internship as the junior-most intern, and I’m trying to understand how to handle workplace dynamics better.
​
For the past few days, I’ve felt a little disconnected. People include me in conversations initially, but sometimes later I feel left out or like I’m not fully part of the group. Since I’m new, I’m not sure if this is just the adjustment period or if there are things I could improve about my behaviour.
​
I want to reflect on my own personality as well. I’m generally respectful and cooperative, but I have a strong reaction when I feel someone is trying to overpower me, disrespect me, or cross a boundary. I become very direct and sometimes I raise my voice instead of letting it slide.
​
I also don’t want people to feel like their behaviour is affecting me or that I’m seeking their approval. I want to maintain confidence, focus on my work, and still build good professional relationships.
​
I’d appreciate advice from people who have experienced similar situations.
