I have a question about the episode Career Switch to Software Engineer | @AnnaMcDougall | Beyond Coding Podcast #56 and the clip Empathy in Team Dynamics. I'm feeling frustrated about how I acted—responsive and thankful but also annoyed—towards one manager at work. Kaitlyn suggested I do something differently, but overall, I have a weird relationship with this manager. 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?

Also, how should I approach my weird relationship with one manager at work, considering everyone else loves me, and I love them? I'm going to change how I've been acting—responsive and thankful but also annoyed—when Kaitlyn suggested I do something differently. I'm just an intern, but it's not obvious. Will changing my attitude help loosen her resistance too?
