I Feel Like No One Likes Me
I feel like this a lot, even though I know it is not true.
The proof is when I travel back to my home office. I currently work away from my team in another state. On those odd days that I am back at headquarters, people come find me to talk, they stop me in the halls, even out in the parking lot to say hello. It is undeniable evidence that I am not as invisible as I think I am.
It's also a bit overwhelming. A month's worth of conversations in 12 hours is enough to overload the circuits of this introvert. But a conversation with the right person, the one who dressed up because she knew I was coming, or the one who just had to show me the wedding dress she picked, those are the ones that give me a lingering high.
