Thread 82436430

I've been trying to get a job for more than a year now, but they never call me back no matter the position I apply for. I'm not picky, I've even applied for factory work, construction and warehouse labor but STILL nothing...

i got hired by amazon, but i'm terrified of actually having to work there...

The money makes it worth it for sure

>>82436578
i couldn't handle a simpler job without breaking down mentally... ;_;

idk what to do

>>82436430 (OP)
Temp agency bud

don't blame yourself too much anon employers nowdays are incredibly picky and the job market is shit anyhow.

i feel like this is the equivalent of selling your soul to the devil in modern times

i very much feel the same. i got yelled at by my mom for being afraid of doing this. she even said herself that she thought what they demanded from me was impossible, but she yelled at me anyways. at this point, i don't know...

>>82436814
it's fine anon try to ignore whatever she says, old people can't comprehend how shit things are. they just assume everything is as easy as it was when they were young. just keep looking, eventually you'll find something

i hope so... i got really upset after she yelled at me. upset to the point that i am just binging box wine to cope. thanks for listening, anon... nobody else seems to care when i am in need of guidance the most. i miss my dad...

you're welcome but be careful with booze anon, it can become a real problem quickly. though i understand you since i also drink whenever im too upset to deal with reality... what kind of jobs would you like to do anyway?

>>82437328
i wasn't planning on drinking until my mom yelled at me...

idk what i'd be ok with. i've always been scared of working. participating in society, for me, is like living in a penthouse with vertigo. everyone else loves it, but i am crippled by it.

>i wasn't planning on drinking
duh, i would hope so. does your mom yell at you often anon?
>idk what i'd be ok with
maybe something you could do at home? or maybe something that lets you use your creativity?
>participating in society, for me, is like living in a penthouse with vertigo
yeah, i understand you. it's the same for me, whenever i go out and see everyone else, i feel a massive feeling of estrangement, like i don't belong, i'm not supposed to be here. i wish i could just be alone somewhere forever and be happy.

Yeah trying to find a job feels impossible most days, no one hires you to do even basic stuff. I spent half my 20s neeting half in 3 shitty tiring jobs (fast food kitchen, ice factory, construction)
Now I'm 34, work part time in a small office with a friend I reconnected with (as in "hey its been years since we talked and we never even knew eachother much but wanna hang out?" I basically admitted to my loneliness) and make double min wage by doing nothing for 4 hours

The point I'm trying to make is that work on those social skills too, theyre just if not More important than job qualifications; I'm not saying "be fake to people so they give you comfy jobs" but "youre lonely, make some friends, be a friend, connect with people and not only you'll be less lonely but you may kill two birds with one stone"
