i have a phobia of getting close to people or working with people much. it keeps me from a lot but i am working on this and trying to make it go away. I can get out of the house but i have a fear of dealing with people and being in toxic work environments
anyway i have not had a real job since i was 21 and i am so worried of this fact but i dont know how to get on wtih it. i am 26 now. i have a feeling of impending doom a lot but i also know if i at least work on unpaid collaboratives and developing my material and learning i will maybe be okay so i focus on teaching myself. Basically i spend a lot of time trying to develop skills and learn. Still the fact that i have no job history worries the hell out of me? I know I'm getting very bad start not socializing enough -- i do sometimes but i dont keep connections. I do collaborating online, and offer a service. im not good at keeping in touch. but i really try to get therapy for it and work out my fears. I have a lot of irrational phobias to do with people i just want to get through this year. i want to try and socialize more but i also see my time window for socializing fading. If anyone could give me advice i'd appreciate it. |

I am the same, i can never keep my friends, I can make them but they seem to fade away, but it happens. I mean, at our age, our lives are not stable, we haven't settled yet completely we don't know what exactly we like, what we don't, most of us haven't figured ourselves yet. People come and go, sometime it helps when I realize I will never 'see that person again' if in some way they don't like me, 'cause there will be people who will not like you, but there will also be people who like you, you can't please everyone. I deal with difficult people a lot at work, I act nice (professional) I don't let nasty people ruin my day, but sometimes it does happen, people are nasty, people are miserable. I try to laugh it off like it's totally just ridiculous It will get better later on
oh gosh had a hard time typing my fingers are frozen it's so cold |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
