Has anybody felt this way and managed to get to a place of feeling better about it? I work in a fairly large (15-20) team of people who are all doing the same job at the same level. Most of us have under 18 months experience (more experienced people tend to get moved to another department). My performance reviews are fine, my manager says I'm doing well, but I really feel like the dunce of the team. Stuff keeps coming out on the work whatsapp group chat that everyone else seems to know about bar me. I know I shouldn't really care what everyone else thinks/how I compare with others as long as my manager is happy with how I'm doing, but getting quite down about it at times. Its making me question if I did the right thing moving into this role (which was a change of direction career wise for me). Don't think it helps that there's nobody I would class as a friend on the team - I get on with people fine but just haven't really clicked in that way where you'd meet up outside work socials and can be totally honest about how you feel about work. In previous workplaces I have always had friends to vent to/get an honest opinion from. Again, shouldn't really matter as I'm quite happy with the friends I've got outside work, but all just adding to feeling a bit down about the job! Its the only employer that does this type of job so can't really move without changing career again, and I would like to make a go of it. Any advice?
