For some context I (19M) started in the bricklayer field around 4-5 months ago. I’ve been on the same job for most that time with people coming and going. One thing I’ve realized is almost everyone is an ass. I’m really new to everything so I ask questions when needed so I don’t make mistakes. However, it seems like they don’t want to help or if they do get angry when it takes me a little bit of time to be fully confident. I’m a quick learner so it’s often just show me once and let me try and I’ll get it just fine, but even with extremely small mistakes or questions I always get met with attitude. With this being said they’re is a small few that are friendly and helpful but they are outnumbered by the rest.

And just extra information is that I’m a keep to himself kind of guy and am still in college for construction management and wanted to get hands on experience to better understand my job. I dont go around bragging but if anyone ever asks me about what I do or anything along those lines I mention it. With this a lot of the people that know that I am in college make comments about it.

So my question is are people in the trades usually like this or does it have something to do with me personally?
