  • I have a job where I feel I don’t fit in. A year in and I question why aren’t I myself here. I feel lonely and also feel I’m a target for someone in another team as I catch them speaking about me but I can’t be sure. The job is right but the people aren’t .

I felt like I did but they just seem to be a bit fake or standoffish

To feel alone at your workplace is not a good situation. To possibly be a target, is even worse. It must be a heavy weight for you to carry. Just out of curiosity, have you looked into other jobs?

I have but this job isn’t easy to come by. And it’s given me a lot of insight on the career I want to do. I think it’s sad being alone. And I don’t know how to navigate things I don’t get why I am a target to be honest. But I can’t assume but it seems like I am kinda thing. Plus there isn’t much opportunities where I am and finding jobs in my field I got to keep looking

I understand what you are saying about being lonely and not fitting in. I once worked for a company whereas targeting people was a sport. A large number of the staff had a target on their back. I remember hearing  the mantra repeated, "Attack or be attacked." It was a miserable existence. I hope that you can find some peace and healing through your conversations here.  Are you familiar with Rudyard Kipling's poem "IF"?
