Yeah -- you know, I have to be honest. I think I may have overthought some things. Like the first day my manager did use slang words with me, it's just when he "jokes" or "talks" his tone comes off as intimidating or rude if that makes any sense? Maybe my perception has changed as I reflect back? Again, or maybe he was being just straight up rude? I shouldn't assume since he hasn't straight up said things like "I don't like you". It's just things he's done or said that I feel makes it as he doesn't like me, therefore I feel like it's a negative work environment.

I'm trying to stay positive about things, I'm trying to spread positivity. I like to say thank you, I greet people by their names because I heard it's good, I smile at people. But I also feel doing that too much may make me come off vulnerable? Especially because I apologize a lot -- out of habit, it's also quick to say, and I genuinely feel sorry, like a lot haha.

But yeah, I hope things work out for me. But thanks for your input on this, I appreciate your time for reading over this.
