So i have a pretty hectic job that requires me to do a lot of things all at once, including customer service, communicating with coworkers, and lots of quick multitasking. So sometimes ill miss something a coworker said or it takes a while for me to process it, so by the time im ready to respond they’ve already moved on and i just look like an asshole who ignores people. Other times i need to relay an urgent message and it sounds like im giving an order?? But really its just i dont have the time or mental capacity to rephrase it to sound nicer while im trying to memorize three different categories of information. Ive noticed other people aren’t as stressed and they always have room for a quick friendly chat, and i find it so fascinating because i find it really difficult to switch back and forth from my fight-or-flight work mode to my friendly chitchat mode. When im really tense i cant even respond with coherent sentences, or even worse, i do respond but end up saying all the wrong things. Is it just because its my first few weeks at the job? And how do i convince my coworkers i dont hate them?
