Just got into IT help desk and I hate it. Anyone else feel the same?

Don't worry, with the kind of attitude you're expressing here, you'll likely not be working many office jobs for long. Any tips for you? Yeah, time to grow up, "drugsarekindafun."

colleagues. It's how you develop yourself into part of the team and integrate. Professionalism is how you're perceived by your peers - are you likeable and someone that people want to interact with, or are you that person everyone cringes when they have to speak with you? ESPECIALLY in IT work, you need to come across as likeable, IT is a form of Customer Service.

You might be better suited for roles where you work remotely instead of an office, however, you'll still have to have at least enough of a personality and ability to connect with users (customers) on some kind of personal level over email or phone calls.

Also, be yourself. If you don't like the office talk about sports or politics, change the subject. Find something else that you and your coworkers share in common that you can connect with. Surely a few of them like some of the same things as you do. Have a conversation and find out! I get that a majority of the younger generation (I'm assuming your age here, probably 26 or under?) has social issues, socially awkward, and a wide range of anxieties. These are things you'll have to overcome if you want to be successful in work and in life in general.

Good luck to you.
