One time after dinner, I accidentally ended up playing chess and was repeatedly destroyed over the next hour or so by some ludicrously strong players - that's the kind of thing that ended up happening many times throughout the summer. It was surprisingly easy to find people with shared interests with whom I could get into really engaging conversations. At Dropbox, I tried to continue being a loner for a little while, but I kept getting dragged into lunches with my team and so on. Sometimes I would try to sit down next to people, but it seemed hard to really strike up a conversation. At the previous company, I pretty much ate lunch/dinner alone and listened to podcasts or music the entire summer. I received formal feedback every two weeks with suggestions like 'don't be afraid to ask more questions' or 'go over your code before you submit it for review' that didn't feel overwhelming, like 'stop being so terrible' or something it made me feel like I was constantly improving. During the actual internship, my mentor arranged weekly 1-on-1's to give feedback, ask me about my concerns, and so on they were also always available for technical help when I was confused about the right way to do something. Working on Android at Dropbox, my mentor gave me a light side project before the internship started (a couple of hours of work every weekend) that helped me get a grasp of how Android development worked, and made me feel a lot more confident about my abilities. As a result, even though I enjoyed the environment, I spent a lot of my day feeling like I was drowning and not really understanding how to proceed, or how to learn more in order to proceed. At a previous internship (at another well-known and successful tech company of similar size), I felt discouraged and didn't have very much self-confidence most of the time my manager was not an engineer, my mentor was working on something different than I was, and in general I felt it was difficult to ask for help.
