I'm an intern. Today my boss made me work on an extremely redundant and boring job for hours, all by myself. I felt invisible and unappreciated. It's been two days now that he has given me this task. After the first two hours I got extremely upset and was trying to hold back tears. I thought maybe I'm not smart enough or quick enough for this job. He is always saying what a wonderful job all the other interns are doing and I get a Thank You. I wanted to talk to him, but I always end up having a breakdown. I don't want him to see me crying. My problem is that I have trouble paying attention to what they are saying, and I don't learn as fast as the other interns. They don't know how to explain things to me in a way that I can understand them. I make mistakes here and there. I'm beginning to hate myself and the fact that I have problems concentrating.

I understand. I have had jobs where I felt completely inadequate. You need to try to step it up a notch for your personal best. See if your new improvements are acknowledged by your boss. If not compose yourself and have that talk. I have a hard time getting it too. Maybe he can give you some tips or make sure that things are explained well. He may not want to, I don't know. But at least you can say that you did your best. Be upfront with him on how you feel...ask him how you are doing and where you can improve. At least he'll see that you care and that you are trying. Good luck.
