<human>: Short and sweet:

I recently got an internship in finance from a friend I knew who worked at this Midtown hedge fund. As the job has gone on, she's conveyed to me that some coworkers have a problem with my "attitude", "aggressiveness", and "pushiness."

I would otherwise write this off as racism (I'm black) or overreaction (I'm more nervous than anything since it's my first time working at a hedge fund) but I've felt myself growing away from some friends of mine outside of work (and have been trying to maintain a friendship with someone I haven't seen in 3 years, despite the fact that he goes to Columbia Law and I work in NYC) and feel it may be a result of these traits my coworker says I have *but that I don't recognize when I do it at all*. 

I want to get better at interpersonal relationships so that I can have a more fulfilling social life, and  thereby a richer emotional life. 

Suggestions welcome!

<bot>: I feel like I could be better at relationships and since everything is connected, doing so will lead to improvement in every area of my life. How do I get better at this?
