I've been working at Mcdonalds for 3 weeks now and I can't help but feel isolated when I'm there. The rest of the crew have been working there for around 1-3 years and are all good friends and know what they are doing. On top of that, they're all white and I'm not. I can't help but feel insecure about being ethnic and left out because everyone is always chatting and laughing amongst themselves and working together, whereas im usually on a station by myself and no one really talks to me unless they're telling me what to do or i need help with something. Today i was a kiosk host for my entire shift and there were hardly any customers, so i just stood on the floor for hours by myself, watching the rest of the crew behind the counter hanging out and laughing and talking and having a good time, and i couldn't help but feel depressed and lonely. But most of all, i just felt insecure. Why don't they want to talk to me? Is it because i'm not like them, because of the colour of my skin? These thoughts prevent me from finding the confidence to approach them myself. It literally feels like mean girls where im not good enough to be in the cool kids crew. I just want them to see me as one of them, idk what to do... Any advice?
have you asked yourself "what am i doing to make friends with these people?" and also why do you think this could be because of your race?
