how do I stop interrupting a coworker at work?
basically I'm a former shut-in of 5 years and I'm starting to work in a small but busy shop where there's only 3 or 4 of us handling 7+ customers at a time sometimes. I have pretty bad social anxiety and my autism and ADHD isn't helping. I'm pretty awkward and sometimes I get a little overwhelmed when it's busy and I try to help out wherever I can, not to mention I do things before really thinking about them when it's busy. today I noticed my coworker getting overwhelmed with like 5 customers at one time and was mixing up the customers and so I tried to help them with the work but I got a complaint instead by a customer for interrupting and talking over my coworker... This is the 2nd time I've gotten pulled to the side and talked to by my manager about this... if I do it one more time I'll get written up and I really don't want that to happen :(
I guess I have trouble gauging when to help someone out, I kinda assume if someone is messing up and looks overwhelmed, they need help, but it's really hard to unlearn that and I really need tips on getting out of the habit of automatically trying to help and fix things
