I used to be able to completely relate to you! (Apart from spending money on junk food - I've always been very health conscious and hate spending money on food in general.) I'm not a complete drop out, but I have way too many incomplete degrees, certificates, etc. I start an educational program and don't finish it. I've also been fired from many jobs and not for lack of showing up, poor work ethic, etc. Like you, I just felt unemployable!

I promise, it WILL change. You just have to figure out what works for you. I gave up all hoop dreams of obtaining a professional job. Even though I can get them, I can't keep them and I get overwhelmed! Minimum wage life for me!

Try to apply to jobs that have a very isolated work force. Not too many other people on your team. The mall, evening hours inn which there are 1-2 staff, tanning salons, etc. Even fast-food is good because there are so many people you can kind of hide. It doesn't sound like oyu don't want to work. It just sounds like you don't know how to carry yourself. This takes practice.

I finally have a reasonable stable job in which I work with one other girl and maybe interact with my supervisor once a week. I'm the second staff, so I don't need to communicate with anyone.

What types of jobs are you applying to?
Thanks for this!
