One of my life lessons in the corporate job is to never project yourself as suffering, even if you are.
When the push comes to shove, even the best boss will use that bile to bite you.
A more refined way is to be very clear with the objectives of your job, and make sure through a weekly email or a fortnightly 1:1 that you and your manager are aligned.
We are all confused at some point of time. But a corporate job teaches you how to remain calm and composed while seeking help, instead of crying like we used to, as a kid.
