I have a question about the episode Dr. Becky Kennedy: Overcoming Guilt & Building Tenacity in Kids & Adults and this clip Embracing Vulnerability. I'm also frustrated about how I acted—responsive and thankful but also annoyed—toward a manager at work with whom I have a weird relationship. Kaitlyn suggested I do something differently, but overall, how should I approach the situation? I'm just an intern, but it's not obvious; everyone else loves me, and I love them.

It's very different from everyone else there. While it's useful in some ways, it's also frustrating. Will changing how I act help her loosen her resistance too?
