Would you rather be in the crowd or out?
My experiences at work so far have kinda went like this....if you don't connect with what the group is talking about you are immediately an outsider...I noticed its really hard to fit in if you dont have something in common with the rest of the group. I feel sometimes as if I am an on-looker when in conversations with my coworkers. I'm the youngest of the bunch her but that doesnt mean I should be isolated when it comes to conversation. I usually get the comment, "Eryn, do you even know what that is?" "You probably werent even born yet." Even if it is said in a joking manner it almost feels like some sort of dig toward me. I am immediately dismissed when I have nothing to contribute to the conversation. No pity parties for me though because I know I am doing really well for myself and in my career. It's just sometime my age is an advantage and then it isn't. Just something random I have picked up on at work. I don't really mind being part of the crowd if it means I will be trying too hard. I just do my work and do me.
Keeping it real, has anyone else ran into this too at work? I am I just being too sensitive??
