So what did you do and what worked? I choose work that doesn't involve much talking but the thing is - how can I get past the interview? I mean I do well when I'm comfortable and I'm fine with my parents or close people but the interviewer might not understand that. Do you tell people? Are your pauses long or obvious? Man I feel you. I am going through/went through the same experiences and thoughts. Do you ever wonder "why me"? Same. Really - same thoughts my friend. Oh man. I mean for that, you can try. Although it's hard because I feel the same way on this topic, you can try and be open? But yeah I want to work on myself too before getting someone. I feel like I don't have enough to offer yet. Yes, it's all mental. Don't know how to overcome this mental state. Yeah it would be easier and yes, it's so hard! D: I can't be more confident if I'm so dissatisfied with a lot. My speech my looks.
