New job and anxiety is rising

I’m a month in to a new job. Up until last week I loved it. Then I noticed my emails in group emails were being ignored, when I’ve made suggestions in meetings they’ve been brushed off. They are being polite but not friendly and I constantly feel awkward. I’m dreading going in to work and I’m now anxious about the next 2 years. I’m getting a lot out of this company so leaving before the end of my contract isn’t an option. No one is telling me I’ve done or said anything to offend and I don’t want to bring it up in the hope that whatever it is will get forgotten about or that I’m just being over sensitive. I’m hoping I am but I don’t think I am.

4 weeks is very early days. Are you managing a team and being ignored or a part of a team?

Doesn’t make it right or sound very welcoming either way though.

Part of a team. Been made to feel slightly invisible so no, not very nice ☹️ The hours are long so I don’t socialise with them but is that enough of a reason for people to get pissed off? They seem lovely but I’ve always been very clear on friend/colleague boundaries. I feel like I’m back at school.

Ok, it is very early days. Do you know anything about the person you replaced and why they left, might be making a difference.

I’d just get on with the job and let relationships grow over time.
