The key is talking to people. Too many people on here complain about meetings, 1x1's, and that they hate interacting with people who don't understand what they're asking for, like management. The real reason is cause many people (especially new grads) think all their job centers around is code. It absolutely does not. Having fun actually interacting with people around the abhorrent minutia of everyday life is not only part of life, but shows you also are not a said "robot." Too many interns I've worked with at my comment are just monotone unimaginative, unemotional, unfeeling drains. Any time they'd talk during a zoom call it was like "God I'm only asking you how your day was so you don't feel left out. When they had nothing to share I was so excited cause we got to skip over them because they were just so damn uninteresting to listen to. But I feel like I'm one of the few that knows this, hence why I enjoy doing these things. One of my Comp Sci instructors was this way as well and he was very enthusiastic about everything. It's why everybody liked him. Unfortunately since Comp Sci is a legitimate hard science, especially being centered around math, it drives out a lot of the perky speakers who don't like to think. I do think it's good because it keeps out the people who think this is all just an easy paycheck, but in reality, I think Comp Sci majors should almost be required to be far more social with others. |

What you are describing seems forced, like when there are several good-ol pals on a call with a new grad, waiting for him to entertain them with a story.
Talking about oneself and sharing comes with trust which comes with time (working together) and being open with co-workers, this is my experience.
