I recently got promoted to an upper level position at a new location. Its been kind of a difficult transition because its an entirely new system, new procedures, new staff, and I dont have much management experience at all. That said, I'm pretty good at my job and mostly do well interacting with people which is primarily what my day consists of. 

However I did not feel very confident in myself accepting this promotion, due to my anxiety and plethora of other mental health problems that I thought would not allow me to do all the things the position requires properly. Or at least not to their expectations. On top of this I have some bad paranoia and self esteem issues so I'm constantly afraid I'm doing everything wrong or that people think I'm weird.

Since I started here I've worked very hard to come out of my shell, act confident/outgoing, and appear as someone who can be somewhat of a leader. Turns out I'm beginning to learn that nobody really takes me seriously and probably do think I'm weird.

Today some of my coworkers were talking on the other side of the room and I was sitting at my desk doing some paperwork. One of them turns around and says, "Hey quiet guy!..."

That felt like shit. Not only do they not care enough to learn my name, but now I'm the "quiet guy."

I know they didn't mean anything by it, and I'm not one to get offended or take shit personally, but fuck I hate when people say I'm quiet or shy. I'm really not. I just don't typically open right up to people I just met and I don't go around running my mouth to anyone and everyone.

I have made a few friends at work and people generally like me I'm hoping, but I'm starting to think I'm just not cut out for this position at all. I don't know why I'm even posting this. Sorry for the rant I don't really have anyone I can talk to or get advice from about this shit
