I've never worked at a place I felt comfortable in. I worked in a retail clothing store when I was 18 for only about a month, and quit because my anxiety got so intense. My coworkers would say things like "Just look busy" so I would fold the same pair of jeans like ten times on a slow day. When it actually got busy, I was a nervous wreck on the cash register with a line going out the door. My coworkers would take advantage of me by constantly texting me and saying "Can you cover my shift?" I felt so uncomfortable.

When I tried to be a phlebotomist, I would get so nervous at the hospital trying to take other people's blood with a needle that I would shake. People always gave me weird looks and it made me really self conscious, so I quit that too.

I really worry that I will forever feel uncomfortable at work, in any job. Being forced to stay somewhere for 8 hours a day seems so unnatural to me. It causes my anxiety to go through the roof, especially if other people are criticizing me or judging me. I think the issue comes down to feeling inferior.

I don't understand how someone can be at work all day every day with zero issues. What is wrong with me?
Does anyone else have workplace anxiety? Any tips or advice?
