Im trying to get a job but it must be with low interaction with people. It’s all related whether or not interacting with people. Im looking to work for a delivery company or something like that, where I just deliver stuff with low interaction. Pretty much a lonely job

I fear people a lot. I am not able to work in a crowded office and have no social skills since the onset of illness. But I am still working now and on the edge everyday. Just need to find the right balance of thoughts and move forward.

I fear people and work as a janitor in an Army Reserve office building. I’m around soldiers of all ages, all day. Kind of ironic.
And by the way, I work by myself 95% of the time. There’s people walking by, but I’m on my own.

Same here. I’m maladjusted even among the maladjusted.

I fear people to a certain level too, it’s not so much people, as it it is actually interacting, i fear it, because it makes me tired quickly. It’s quite normal for me to end up needing a nap after dealing with new people for some reason, but with people i trust/know, i’m fine. I wouldn’t even say i’m fully introverted, but this still happens.

I used to. But recently i have really come out of that and have been fairly extroverted qhen there is a need. My offline bestie was shocked when I jumped to talk9ng to people for donations for our summer program. And that has continued. I’m able to talk to anyone now.
Some days I have to push for that to happen, though. It takes a lot of bracing myself and rehearsals in my head.

I dont fear people. But i fear that they will see my ineption. Incompetence, brain damage. And see that i am helpless. Then i fear what they will do. So far only one person who lives in my building takes verbal jabs at me as i cant function mentally around him

I’ve brushed aside at least half a dozen suggestions to do a college course of some kind, in a bricks and mortar setting, because I fear I’ll get bullied and treated like s*** as I was as a teenager. I don’t have the right temperament for online based courses.

I am unsure as to whether I fear people, or in actuality, fear the social situations behind them.

Theres a process for getting a job that is based on thr assumption that you are a complete stranger who is an incredible risk. That is the starting point. It extends to people actively preventing you from getting a job, references, tax form submossion process etc.

Yes and no. On the one hand I don’t trust. On the other, I trust too much.

To some degree. I don’t really like 90% of people and often get frustrated with people. I don’t really show it but it definitely affects me.
I also never answer phone calls if I don’t know the number.

With the exception of a few family members and my psychiatrist and counselor I don’t really trust most people.
Yeah I know it’s the illness and the many years I endured all kinds of bullying by others
