I hope this is the best place to post this. For the past year I've been having trouble finding a job I will stick with. People are starting to think I'm lazy, which I know I am not. I'm terrified to get back out into the world. My last attempt at steady employment: Second week, walked in to work, went to get uniform, started panicking, and wasn't even thinking of what I was doing. My body was like on autopilot, I put my uniform back, and raced outta that place as fast as I could. No idea what triggered this. My last steady job was nice, I worked pretty much by myself. After about 4 months I got so bored though, and thought that I should start pursuing my career again. So, I interviewed with this place, and was supposed to start, but I never showed up. I've done that so many times. I've even worked for 2 days, then never returned. I just can't tell if I am trying to do something that I secretly don't want to, or if it's some fear of success or something. I also wonder if it's a fear of commiting, or maybe even responsibilty, or possibly burnout (happened before). My mind is so clouded about this subject. I wonder if other people in their 20's go through this, and for god's sake, why. It's extremely frustrating because I'm recieving more and more pressure to just get a damn job. I'm currently waiting on results of the standard backround check from a retail place, and hope I do get the job because I REALLY need a paycheck. I'm so scared I am going to blow it again. I seriously am running out of options, and can't afford to run from another place of employment again. This seems like some type of panic, but I'm not sure, and have no idea how to deal with it. I don't even know if what I'm saying makes sense because like I said my mind is so clouded about this. any insight would be immensely appreciated. thank you.
