I am feeling very afraid of failing right now and I am frankly embarrassed at how dependent I am on my family financially right now even though I’m in my 30s. I am not even sure how I let this happen. I guess I sort of didn’t see it until it was too late. I need to get away from them and more independent but I’m literally petrified with fear suddenly. I simply have to be able to support myself and I cannot boomerang back to them yet another time in my life. Yet I have some kind of paralyzing existential fear of either not liking a new job or if not being liked at it. Somehow the idea of having the same job for more than 1 or 2 years is terrifying to me. Is that unheard of?
