I had some issues recently regarding my dysfunctions.
First of all, I was having a job interview inside my company and, generally speaking, I met the criteria required for this particular position. There was this HR guy and the manager. So, we were talking and going through my curriculum and it says my English skills are basically advanced (It's not our native language). So they asked me about it and I was like, yeah, I'm almost bilingual, I'm good at this language, use it on my daily basis etc. So, of course, they decided to test me, but in speaking, not in writing. And there's this huge, extremely huge gap between my performance skills and writing skills, no matter what language I use. They asked me some detail about my education and I kind of managed to mumble something, like one and a half of a sentence in basic English and that was it. It was really embarassing, like I was lying about my skills. Another thing is that, while my working memory is almost non existent, I actually started talking about my terrible visual spatial skills at one point (not, like, all of a sudden, it was related to something, but still unecessary for me to talk about and made a wrong impression). Also, I was asked about some specifics of my education and my mind went blank and I literally didn't remember anything I should say. So, all in all, I didn't get the job and it just ended up with the manager gazing at me in a weird way each time he sees me or turning his head around. So so.
Also, my job is basically 365 days a year thing and I work really hard and hardly can concentrate on anything different. The money isn't great and I found out I have terrible issues with relating to my off-work friends and people in general. I mean, I work hard to earn not so great amount of money, already have two years of job experience, while people I know, they are basically raised in a bubble, still studying, never had to work, they parents buy them everything, rent their flats, maintain their cars etc and it makes me really jealous and a bit hostile towards them. I'm trying not to play a martyr, but my life experience is so different from theirs I just have problems with accepting this.
