I'm scared at work. I'm only 3 months at my first job ever since I recently graduated. So many responsibilities and I am also scared of my two supervisors.
One (supervisor A) is kind but easily gets angry because she's busy and the other (supervisor B) is most of the time serious and I get the feeling all the time that she doesn't want to talk. Whenever I ask supervisor B about something she just scoffs me off or just tells me that I should know that or that I shouldn't be asking her about that and then leaves or ignores me. I know she's busy but I always feel like I have to be careful just to talk here and plan out my every word. She teaches me very well though. She sort of acts like a terror professor in school. For supervisor A, I also have to watch out for her reactions as she easily gets angry (but also easily gets happy). My main problem with her is that most of the time I don't know what she's talking about as she has many of these terms and jargons that she assumes that I already know. If I ask to clarify I have to watch out if she may get angry or might just confuse me more.
I'm still settling into this kind of life. I'm 22 and I don't even know if this is the job for me if I should change career or not. I keep making mistakes and fighting deadlines is too much for me. I panic if I'm racing against time especially if I'm doing the task alone. There's also the fact that there are so many new people and I am always anxious with them like I have to be my very best whenever I'm around them.
I'm writing this hear because I'm scared of sharing this to my family (whom I live with currently). They might just tell me to just do good and be better - simple and blank advices. Also, my parents have scolded and beaten me for crying at school so I'm scared of showing them my vulnerabilities. For my college friends, it's been a while since a last saw them and talking through chat and not personally may not be enough.
I just want to be happy since I see a lot of my coworkers being happy.

Only thing i know is my smile is not real anymore
I decided to write this realizing in the middle of my dairy i need somebody to really hear me out. What i feel right now? Everything. Everything seems hard...
I'm like that too, I get very nervous around managers and even some staff but I've learnt to not take them so seriously, just by talking to them in a casual way, if I hear them scoff or say something that I think is inappropriate I ask them to repeat what they've said, it kind of makes them feel uncomfortable, but I try and standup for myself as much as I can -its hard though.
They can be pretty understanding, when I need advice and their opinion on something, but your totally right about the work load they have it can definitely contribute to their attitude.
I hope you can feel more comfortable and at ease at work, and if it's not for you I'm sure there will be other places that will be happy to have you on their team!
All the best xx
