Lol I'm such an introvert
I have joined an internship and have been here for 4 weeks now. I have been seeing people drinking coffee since day 2, but have been shy to ask about it. In my 2nd week I located where the coffee machine was, but to shy to use it. This week, after finally gathering up the courage I went to use the machine after others used. That's when I realised I don't know how to use it. Lol. I made such a bad mix of expresso and milk and had to add 4 spoons of sugar to be able to drink it. Yesterday I made the mistake of not adding sugar and thought it was too awkward to go back to add sugar, so gulped it down after it cooled a little.
Looool, need to develop soft skills

    When you master the coffee machine, offer to bring your senior colleagues coffee and chat with them

    Or you just need to let go of the last shred of care.

    I'm introverted, and awkward, but I no longer have the time or inclination to summon up even the most rudimentary shit to give about it.

    So people think I'm extroverted, and confident, and whatever.

    It seems that the guys aren't friendly with you.
    In my company when we have a new hire, the first thing we do is the coffee machine tutorial :D

    Also, we try to include the person as much as possible, lunch, discussions,.....

    Jeez dude, thats almost autistic levels of shyness. Rule of thumb for interns: The people there know that you don't know too much, and if you keep a friendly attitude they'll reflect adequately. Some devs can look a little cold on the outside, but with a little time they'll get warmer.

    The more you talk to people the easier it gets. If you don't feel comfortable diving into full fledged 10 minute discussions, start with simple things, chit chat. Ask if someone wants to grab a coffee, comment on things you like...

    It's an organic process, you'll get there.

    People are fucking assholes

    It's better to be introvert than being good to them and yourselves go up and ask for something
