I am the newcomer of my team.
As it is my first job, I do not have enough experience and knowledge to handle the office relationship. I hope I can be liked by the co-workers so that I can work in a comfortable environment. But I can feel that some of them do not like me.
How can I change their minds towards me and create a good environment for myself?

since you are just new it is normal to have a few acquaintances first don't be scared if you don't win them at this time. It is more scary if they are very welcoming to you.. scary and dubious. so just be yourself and relax and eventually you will have friends there. You don't need special skills to handle office relationships. Just be professional and do your job efficiently there will be no problem with that.

Now I am busy to learn the working content, I hope I can master it as soon as possible. If I can be a professional worker here, I think I can get trust from co-workers.
While to deal with the people, I try to act as myself and let people have time to accept the real me.

yes and let the time tell if you will be good friends to them.. you can not force them to like you just be yourself and do your job.

It is really hard to work if we feel that there some people behind us who do not welcome us or feeling that they are differ from others. Well one thing that i can tell you is just be yourself and enjoy your work, be simple and patient to them and dont forget to smile and friendly first. But try not to be plastic or pretend that you are fine even not. I mean do your work as good as you can. Time will come they will be your friend too. Just be yourself and be happy.

Don't rush yourself my friend, that time will come. Anything that is new really is hard especially in a work place. Just do your job, respect your superior and act the way you are supposed to be and you will be fine. In time, when they have known that you want to be friends with them they will be the one to approach you. And before you know it they are already helping you to adjust to your new environment.

Since you are a new in your job, it is natural that you need to adjust with your colleagues. For you to be able to like them, just be yourself while maintaining your professionalism towards them. Just get along with them, but don't forget that you still need to be a team player for your work. And with that, 100% most probably, they will like you...

Be a team player a sthey say it. Don't be a burden instead be a help. Don't act like a "know-it-all" person. Be humble but don't be bullied. Be responsible but don't outdo others. Don't have to please everyone, but be sensitive to the needs of others. Mind your own business and make sure you finish the task on time. Don't try too hard to be in the group, just be yourself.

1. Be yourself
2. Bear in mind that it is a workplace - at first, you could be friendly, but keep your job in the first place, and act professionally
3. Don't be too much, too "let's be friends", too informal, too familiar and too intrusive (some peope find it annoying, and they may even think that you just collect info because you like gossiping)
4. Work hard
5. Offer your help when you see it could be needed

As you are newcomer to the team, most of the people will welcome you mingle with them and by getting into conversation and make friends, the other people will also get attracted to you , try to concentrate on work rather than employees who don't like
if they don't like u its their problem , think positively and stay with positive people and work hard.
try to talk with them once or twice if they respond positively for the second time mingle with them , even after doing so they won't change then forget them simply that they wont exist.
think about yourself and think positively don't waste time thinking about others

Hi,
Some people can not accept new comer easily. They are always have suspect about the nature of new comer. you work honestly and behave politely and softly with everyone. then everyone can accept you. If there is good environment in the job then work can be effectively done.

I've seen your posts, and you seem like such a sweet and kind person. I think if I can feel that from your posts, I believe that they will feel it as well. You might not feeling anything from them, but instead feeling your own insecurities magnifying the situation. I'll just bet they think you are cool. I do, I've been part of your posts, answering your discussion questions and I like you. So don't worry, you will be fine :)

Yeah, when I had my first work, I also felt that. Feeling of out of place and as if I do not know everything happens in the operation. I always observed and not often talking because I was ashamed. I was just doing my work and asked to someone if I do not know what to do on some tasks until such time that my fellow workmates themselves were approaching me and asking something personal with me for them to know me well. I think it takes time for you to adjust in your working environment.

once they get to know you they will accept you it always feels like they are picking on you or talking about you behind your back but don't worry about it you will just do fine

you are there to work, not make friends. just go there and keep to yourself and do your work. you don't have to see any of those people once you get off and go home. that's all i have to tell you, because i am not a social person at all. i would hate having to work for someone else and deal with that mess. that's why i am glad i work for myself.

The same way you attract more 'romance' at a bar ... well, similar to that (just have fun, and let the others join you). Naturally it'll be 'just work well' at your job, but it's the same principle (enjoy 'whatever you're doing' so much that others will want to share your joy with you!)

what you need is to do the right thing,be hard working,be friendly,try to affect others life positively. And also know that no matter how good you could be, all of them can not like you,no matter how,good you are or may be, some will still be envy or hate you, but you just do not mind them, and do not be discourage by the wind,but stand firm.If you are liked by all, it means you are not do the right thing yet, once you are, the one's that have the heart of good will like you, and appreciate you.
