Having the power usually makes my anxiety go away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the power usually makes my anxiety go away I think it was a moment I was powerless and that when we were training. I've already fell behind training and felt like it was a reprimand type of meeting. I don't know, I feel ridiculous now. I'm just waiting on my supervisor, I feel embarrassed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My professor told us an internship is the place you want to mess up because everybody knows you're a student and still learning. If it makes you feel better day 1 of my undergrad internship I almost knocked over the dialysis machine my very first patient was hooked up to ... so ... I was thoroughly embarrassed 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social anxiety is really common esp these days. You can overcome it. You should join an improv group or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD Can't I just talk to everyone in a forum like setting. lol What all will the work environment be like? Will you be working from home, using your own computer or whatever, or will you be working in an office? The only suggestion I have is if you are working from home, and with your own computer, perhaps you could say your webcam broke or you don't have one? That wouldn't be a long term solution, but it might be enough to buy you a week or two to get used to talking to them online, which could make it a bit easier when you eventually do have to use a webcam?

Distinct Lunatic Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Honestly I've always been nervous about talking online to people I don't know in person, more so because I overthink about how my voice sounds. I've asked many folks around me how does my voice sound and they say it's normal or fine or whatever, but when I hear my voice it sounds too weird, though supposedly that's normal since people typically aren't used to hearing their voice outside of them talking.
