Struggling to Adjust to Hybrid Life
I’ve been working from home for more than five years, and after recently moving to a hybrid role, I’m finding it really difficult to adjust. I feel completely lost because I’m not able to mingle with anyone at the office. It’s been hard to make new friends, and I often feel left out.
I don’t even feel like talking to people sometimes because I don’t get much response back. Everyone already seems to have their own groups, and they tend to stick together. My teammates are hardly ever around either when I’m in the office, they’re working from home, and when I’m home, they show up at the office.
I’m not sure how to connect with others in this situation. I know I’m a bit introverted, but I never thought it would be this difficult to mingle with people again.
Just keep up with the small talks like you do. Also please don't try too hard to become friends with those people who already have a group and make you feel left out I've been there it will only make things worse like faking yourself to mingle with them. If you are okay with yourself then don't get too worried you are enjoying your own company and yeah maybe you'll make some friends in a while or maybe not. But its better to be on your own than to fake yourself to be with a group. Yeah it'll be hard being left out but it won't be that bad than trying to be with those people who doesn't value you
