I have a question about the episode Bari Weiss on the Power of Choice and Voicing Change and the clip Setting Boundaries. I'm also frustrated about how I acted—responsive and thankful but also annoyed—when Kaitlyn suggested I do something differently. 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 of self-doubt?
