Is it normal to have crippling anxiety as a new staff?
I started in January, freshly out of college, no CPA (working on it) and I feel somewhat dumb. Not sure if it’s because I have do not have the CPA title but I feel dumb with every task I am doing. I either ask too much questions or not ask enough (from my feedback). I did get good feedback, at least the meet expectations marks.
However, even with the feedback, I still feel like I am not doing a good job. Even with the “good job” I get from my senior, I still feel they are saying that to “retain” the new hires and not make them quit.
However, I could be overthinking. I have been waking up thinking “why did I say that”, “do they think I’m dumb”. And my thoughts been affecting my studying and tasks but I might be overthinking too much .
