Hi everyone do you find it difficult to hold down a job? I do. I'm intelligent, I have qualifications and I work hard but that doesn't seem to be enough. My Managers always seem to have a problem with my attitude. I am pleasant to everyone and always try to be nice but I'm shy and very melancholy. My quiet and less than happy demenour always seems to be the problem. I find it very hard to get involved with the office banter because of my anxiety. I think if I just keep my head down and work as hard as I can I'll be ok. I never say anything to upset anyone, it seems that just my presence alone is enough to make my colleagues and managers want to get rid of me. It's so disheartening because I can control how hard I work but I feel like I cannot control my personality. I'm applying for another job now but, deep down inside, I feel like what is the point. When I'm searching the internet for jobs, instead of thinking about what the work entails and weather I can do it, I'm just worrying about how much social interaction there will be. Does anyone else experience anything like this?
