What are you thinking right now?

May I ask what who hash is?

OMG!

Why is it not letting me quote your post?

Anyway, yes, I got that much, but it was never clear what the "beast" was, so I thought maybe you could tell me. Inquiring minds want to now.

I think it was that elephant...

This is beyond ridiculous. It's absolute ********. Could you people please pull your heads out of your backsides?

(No, this isn't about anything on the forum, so don't get your knickers in a twist.)

I have similar fears.

Words can't convey how much I hate the notion that that's what I am.
There's no way to accurately describe the magnitude of anger it makes me feel - the force, the fire, the heat.
I hate feeling inherently inferior, so much that it hurts.
There have been times when I've been alone and all the sudden I find myself screaming and swearing and foaming at the mouth, and I look up and see that an hour has passed.

I always burned with a desire to be successful, because my background was lower and worse than a lot of people around here and I hated feeling like that, I hated feeling like a biologically low quality person. It was so humiliating, made me feel like I had nothing to take pride in. Also, I really wanted a better quality of life. I wanted more out of life than screens. I wanted to really live.
But the problem I always had was, I didn't feel mathematically or mechanically inclined, which is what it seemed to me that you needed if you wanted to be successful (and you weren't a pro athlete or A-list entertainer). So I didn't know what to do.

I also thought you needed to have a natural interest in that stuff too, like you naturally thought about, read about, and want to know more about that kind of stuff, and I never did - partially out of feeling like there's no point being interested in things I didn't feel like I could do, and partially out of simply not being interested.

I don't want to discourage you, or poison you with negativity, and I don't know what to say that would be useful.
I just wanted to say, I understand where you're coming from.

Okay, for both of you, any job is better than no job. Even if it's not the greatest job in the world, you are still going to be making money. That goes a long way. You always have the option of finding a better job and there are A LOT of jobs out there, you just have to keep trying until you find something you like and/or can tolerate. It's okay to start small, it's okay to do the "crap" jobs everyone complains about because in the long run employers want you to have job experience.

What other types of jobs have you tried? Have you considered getting certifications to be qualified for other jobs? Some of them are pretty easy to get. Also, if you can shovel snow, I'm assuming you could also mow lawns and the like, so maybe you could look into getting a job at a landscaping type of business that would do snow in the winter. Just an option.

ETA: forgot to reply to yours. lol

I sincerely feel that your biggest problem is that you have no confidence. You are so sure that you are going to fail that you are too afraid to try. Just get a job...literally any job. Yes, the job will likely suck, but it's not forever. If you can get an entry job in the type of company you want to work in, you always have the opportunity to work your way up. I think if you got some money, got out on your own, got a car, etc, you would be a million times better than you are right now. You have to DO something, Ska.

I’ve had warehouse and retail jobs mostly cellphone stores from 18 to 27. Yes I agree any job is better than no job.
