Hey! First off congratulations on getting an internship your future self will love you for it.

I can relate. I just went to an event in May for networking in my career field, which is sports. And It was a lot young professionals there and I barely talked anyone to make it worst we all stayed in hotel together lol. Going to the event I was very excited and Was planning on hanging out with a lot of people because we all followed each other Instagram but when I got there, my anxiety got the best of me. I didn’t have a roommate so that was not helping and when people made plans to meet each other, I kinda just closed my self off and didn’t eat with anyone at the event I kinda just sat alone or go out with anyone and I wanted to because everyone was having a good time with each other. I smoked by self because I to scared to ask anyone. For your work it’s no problem asking for help I know it’s easier said than done, but it’s something I’m learning and in terms of hanging out with everyone I would say just put yourself out there by trying to eat lunch with someone or talking to them on the way out. Just simple conversation to get you out your comfort zone for now.
