I have a question about the episode Sheila Heen — How to Navigate Hard Conversations, the Subtle Art of Apologizing, and More and the clip Navigating Relationships. I'm also frustrated about how I acted—responsive and thankful but also annoyed. Kaitlyn suggested I do something differently, but overall, I have a weird relationship with this one manager at work. I'm going to change how I've been acting. I'm just an intern, but it's not obvious; everyone else loves me, and I love them. It's just this one person, and I need to change my attitude.
