I have a question about the episode Launch Party Part 2 and this Kindness on Set. I'm feeling 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 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. She rarely gives me the space to explain and often asserts herself in the middle of presentations without letting me continue. It's very different from everyone else there. While it's useful in some ways, it's also frustrating. I'm proud that I recognize I need to adjust to her behavior. Will this change help her loosen her resistance too? But now, I'm feeling like I've had a negative impression on everyone and done a horrible job this summer. I know I haven't; I'm getting a return offer. But what is this feeling?

I have a question about the episode #068: Mark’s First "Girlfriend" Tells Her Story with Michelle Dow and the clip Apology and Repair. When you were talking about the job I’m applying for, I know it came from a place of love, excitement, and support (and I really do appreciate that). I’m also happy about the opportunity, and I want it to work out. Honestly, I’m a little scared because of what happened to me at the Westin — that mental break was one of the hardest times in my life, and it almost cost us our relationship. I never want to go through something like that again. The good thing is, I know I’ve learned from it, and I feel stronger now, but it’s why I’m trying to stay grounded and not get too excited until things feel more secure. How can I stay grounded and manage my fears while applying for this job?
