Q: How can I stop feeling like a nobody?

A: I felt like I was a nobody at my job. When I shared an idea, it seemed like no one listened—like my thoughts and opinions didn’t matter. Like no one cared.

I was the youngest one there, and to me everyone else seemed smarter, funnier, more experienced. I felt they were all better than I was, and I imagined they were even laughing at me behind my back.
