Surviving work in a male-dominated field.

Hello!

I am the only girl on a team of 4. I feel like I am constantly being belittled as hard to work with and aggressive.

I’m very high achieving and ambitious and I think sometimes my desire to do a good job comes off wrong.

All my 1:1 feedback is that I need to be more patient and kind. I’ve started crying a lot at work and feeling so distant from my teams. I care about doing a good job at my work but care more about how I’m perceived.

What is wrong with me???
