Additionally, how should I handle my frustration about how I reacted—responsive and thankful but also annoyed—when Kaitlyn suggested I do something differently? 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.

Will this change help her loosen her resistance too?
