No really getting along with female co workers

Yesterday work was awkward. I’m still a bit bad and feel like I’m at my limit. I didn’t get a chance to reach out to anyone. Maybe I still don’t feel like I’m the most acknowledged at work. I know I’m quiet and not really the most sociable and deal with the heavy *** that I don’t have the energy to social anymore. Especially with the females it’s funny sometimes I’m glad there are females that work here and it great to see they are all socializing but not really to me. Why does it make me feel left out. But girls are hard to socialize with I guess even though I’m a girl but more on the older side. And most are younger but I guess I try not to let it get to me. Why does it make me feel out of it.

I guess it’s also more Male dominant when I started I was mostly the only female there was one other vocal female teacher but she only worked three days in a week. Not many females stay and one dropped out at the end of the month. And it was because she found another job and just quit right away which we all lost our respect. That was three years ago. Another one Al’s had changes to the schedule and couldn’t commit and eventually also left. Some left since they weren’t getting enough pay. I guess I’m just expecting the worst to happen. But maybe it hasn’t happened yet.

Also with a lot of new people and new changes I just don’t know anymore.

Seems like change stress? .. things will calm down.

Im my experience .. you will probably make friends. Sometimes it's easier to get along with guys first. Im sure you will succed with everyone. Its gets easier as you do more of that socializing and learning to not feel self conscious

I'm glad you shared. Some work environments can be quite "awkward" sometimes and it's very normal.

From what you have said it sounds like you are feeling isolated and left out. It's very frustrating not being able to socialize with fellow workmates.

If l may ask , in that moment when they are socializing, what really draws you back from joining in? If you find the causes it might help in finding the solution.

I'm here for you.
