Coming back from maternity leave has been weird. Sometimes I feel completely ignored, and other times like everyone's waiting for me to mess up. I keep second-guessing myself too. Maybe I'm just being sensitive right now, but do these feelings go away eventually?

I went through this too, and it does get better. At first, it felt like everyone was watching me closely, but after a couple of months it faded. People got used to me being back, and I stopped putting so much weight on every interaction.

I felt like this, too.

I can't say for sure, but I suspect you're being a bit too sensitive. When we return from absences, or even when we start a new job, we can feel self-conscious and think we're out of step with everyone else. And most of the time when I've felt that way I realized it was mostly my own perception that was a bit skewed.

I think it goes away with time.
