Hi Subhikshya,

Starting something new can be unnerving. It's quite normal to feel anxious before stepping into a new environment with new people.

But, you did it before, right? You had a first day in school with all new kids? Maybe you joined a club or a volunteer activity? Maybe you went to camp? You were probably anxious there as well, but you managed. And after a few days it became normal.

The thing is, you will step into a new environment many times in your life. You'll start new jobs, you'll go to college or some kind of training. The good thing is, the people there know that. They have all been there. They'll do their best to make you feel comfortable, and you'll be part of the group in no time.

All the best to you! You got this! Just be your charming authentic self and start learning. Be curious and ask questions.

Vandana’s Answer

If you have started your internship in a new city, you need to initially start by learning the role you play in the company. If you are not familiar with certain things, learn them. Research your environment and get a handle on the basics and current trends. You can visit the office once before the start, to familiarize yourself with the way the company runs. If you have already started, accustom yourself. Keep a small diary or notebook to track what you’ve learned or felt each day. It’ll help with growth and reduce your anxiety. Everyone starts somewhere so give it some time. Stay positive, work hard, and make it happen" is a motivational phrase that encourages people to work hard and stay positive to achieve their goals. Things will fall into place and always hope for the best
