Thank you for this, I can totally relate! I started my first job as a Software Engineer the first week of February, and even though we have the option to work from home as much as we want, I was still working from the office every day because I love the change of environment. I could just ask the people next to me for help with my project which was written in Elixir/Phoenix, something I have never used before. I now find myself asking way more questions (and way longer questions) on Slack since I don't have that real-life back and forth interaction. It hasn't been terrible, but I definitely have that feeling that I am literally the least experienced person in the company, always asking questions and maybe over-complicating simple things. I think in my (or our) case it is important to stay positive and think about it from a different perspective, because if I didn't ask questions I would be stuck forever, and more experienced people can solve certain things way faster than I can, or point me in the right direction. Also exercise could also be really good for the mind ...
Agreed that it's so important to try and stay positive and allow ourselves to feel vulnerable by asking questions. I hope your team is being supportive of you during this time!
