What is the feeling of self-doubt, as discussed in the episode Episode 645 - Annie Baker and the clip Self-Doubt and Creativity? Despite getting a return offer, why do I feel like I've had a negative impression on everyone and done a horrible job this summer?
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?
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. I'm proud that I recognize I need to adjust to her behavior. Will this change help her loosen her resistance too?
