Does anybody get major anxiety before joining a meeting? Idk if it’s social anxiety or because I’m a month in at a new job and not fully ramped up but I’m at the point where I’m trying to dodge meetings if possible. I feel like a loser.

I’m the same way! Even if I don’t have to talk sometimes. I get really anxious right before and then after it’s like a huge relief. I don’t have any specific advice, but I’m right there with you.

Glad I’m not the only one :)

Yeah even if I’m not slated to speak, I get anxious about the possibility getting called on and providing the wrong response. Ans I’m constantly checking the time til the meeting is over and then there’s a beautiful rush of relief ...at least until the next meetings starts lol

I really feel like I’ve been dealt a really bad hand in my life. It feels like no one gives me a chance. Whether it’s a job I know I’m qualified for, or someone I’m interested in. Even things that appear to be good at first end up sucking. I know I should be grateful for what I have and that so many others are less fortunate. But I still can’t help but think that for a person in my position, given the opportunities that I was given, I am just a complete failure and nowhere near what I could be.
