Hello all,
Three weeks ago, I started an internship at a local grooming salon. I am trying to learn the ropes of grooming so I can succeed in the field. However, I have noticed that I struggle to interact with my coworkers. Hell, even just greeting them is hard for me. I’m unsure if it’s due to my autism and social anxiety, or the fact that I basically isolated myself from people for two years due to depression. I’ve also noticed that I have a hard time showing emotions, such as happiness. I rarely ever smile and faking a smile is hard, I guess because I never have anything to smile about. I just feel like I have a bad energy and am ruining the atmosphere of the salon. I don’t want the other groomers to feed off my negative energy when they’ve super positive.
