I cried in front of my mentor
I am an intern for a month now and my mentor was absent the whole week except Friday.
While he was gone I felt very stressed because I felt I was being unproductive or slacking because all I did was read/watch some learning modules and I felt like everyone was judging me for doing nothing (because I have some assigned tasks but I need my mentor to do them and everyday we have daily calls to discuss what we have done for that day)
When he came back he was busy with some administrative work so we didnt really do anything and I think that was my breaking point and I started sobbing heavily thinking I cant do this because I know nothing and can do nothing.
After the daily call my mentor called to work on something and I tried to hold my tears but my voice cracked and I end up crying again.
Now I am still overthinking about it and feel a bit ashamed and I feel like I set women 5 years back.
