I am such a small poor person.

I can't shake the feeling that no one at work likes me. My only hope on leaving some positive mark is they find me (sometimes) smart and a quick learner.

Worrying that people are commenting behind my back how weird and shy and quiet they think I am. How unfunny and boring...and how incapable of talking about personal subjects... How unnatural, how silly and childish...

That’s quite a list of negative comments

I think that if anyone thought or said all those things, it would mean they are a very mean spirited person

To be honest, they probably see you as a mystery. Private people, whether shy or just quiet, are often misjudged as haughty/snobby. Just remember you are there to work, not to win a popularity contest. Someone who is worth your time will be patient and will wait to see what kind of person you really are. As long as you are true to who you are, and show your own kindness and patience toward others, people will gravitate towards you.

I tend to be quiet. I often have no idea of what people think about it. Some ask me why I am so quiet. I am content. Others are happy to have the spotlight!

Please don't assume people are thinking negative things about you. This is more about your fear of what they may be thinking. Your fears about this may be reflective of low self-esteem?
Maybe list the things you like about yourself?
In time, work on learning to love yourself!

My grrrrr is back. I thought for a bit spring or something might be ..

I agree, I don’t think people think those bad things (if they do, they really have .. issues)

I prefer someone who’s quiet to someone who is arrogant and up themselves

I think as a professional it’s particularly important not to be “arrogant” - just my opinion.

It takes a long time to learn to love ourselves

Thank you all!

I know that they may or may not think this about me. I don't blame them if they do... I am the problem.
At my work there are a bunch of nice people I like. The problem is specially in myself (my thoughts and behavior).

It's just some times this thoughts are overwhelming.
It's so easy to feel anxious through out the day and it just builds and it repeats itself.

I felt anxious today next to a five year old girl.
