Feeling Incapable To Work Because Of Your Social Anxiety?

In this video I show you why I believe that you’re perfectly capable of doing your job and what you should do to feel this way as well.

You see, if you got hired, you were able to convince human resource department that you’re the right one for that job. If they believe it then it must be true. After all, they’ve probably hired and fired many people before they hired you, so they know what they are looking for. And obviously, they have found it in you.

Just take one step at a time and learn something new every day. This kind of attitude will ensure that you make progress on a daily basis, which will ensure that at some point you won’t feel the anxiety anymore. You will become perfectly capable of doing that job.

i want a job farming in the nature, i think there is something wrong with the society we live in, not something wrong with us

I was fired from a serving job two weeks after getting it because I 'wasn't getting it'. I struggle with severe anxiety and the restaurant had a huge menu I couldn't memorize properly. I felt like it was unfair but I never spoke out about it. Thanks for making this video, I thought I was the only one.

it's the colleagues, office settings and the culture that gave me anxiety..nt the job itself

That’s it? People with anxiety aren’t ungrateful man, we just want to learn how to subdue anxiety during work hours. I quit my job in August due to anxiety because I kept vomiting and fainting throughout. Not once has it ever occurred to me that I wanna make money sitting down. I want to work, and challenge myself while keeping my anxiety at bay. Sorry, this wasn’t helpful at all.

I still don’t understand why society tends to think all people have the same capacity(stress tolerance, amount of hours capable of continuous labor, weather we value life over work and how much).
It’s always the blame on the less capable that their effort isn’t enough compared to the majority.
Unless you’re mentally or physically ill, society treats us all the same. It lowers the self esteem of individuals so much because they always have to compare the outcome to others with higher capacity.

I work a job right now and my anxiety is so bad i just clench my fist and cant remember anything, all i can focus on is what people are thinking about me, i get so paranoid there, and i've tried overcoming it by doing everything that makes me nervous, and it just makes it worse

Whenever i get an interview i just dont want to go through it. 😐

Hell is other people.

My anxiety actually causes me to make infinitely more mistakes than I would if no one was monitoring me. Sick of it.

Wow, I’ve been getting jobs and nailing the interviews all of that, and then quitting right after. Because of such bad anxiety. And this video is spot on for how I feel and what I’ve been dealing with. Thank you so much for making this video, you’re so kind and assuring.

I have pretty bad social anxiety but I work for a residential company as a project manager and talk with clients everyday. I remember when I first started I would get so nervous before work that I would throw up in my backyard before leaving every morning! I have come to realize that my anxiety was all from not fully being comfortable with my tasks and having to ask a million questions to other builders for help. After 3 months it got a LOT easier to understand and deal with. To people feeling like quiting a new job because you feel under qualified, news flash, EVERYONE FEELS UNDERQUALIFIED ENTERING A NEW JOB. don't stress, life's too short and there are a shortage of every job right now.

I'm fucked up bad I'm 36 and can't live a normal life

[carolinaherrera]

Yes I have that problem and no one believes me I have a faculty degree ...and my parents think that I am lazy...the life has become a nightmare to me.

I've been unemployed and out of education for over a year now, not for lack of trying, and have this constant feeling that I'm running out of time. I'm on benefits which forces me to apply for hundreds of jobs to avoid getting sanctioned (I need the pressure as I have zero drive otherwise). I struggle to even accept an interview (when I actually get offered one) and have turned down plenty of opportunities because of my social anxiety. The interviews I forced myself to attend I have failed miserably due to my innate awkwardness and complete lack of social skills. I feel stuck, hopeless, worthless, can't even say I feel underappreciated because what's there to appreciate? I spend the days just rotting away in my bedroom. I'll try to overcome this but the prospects are looking bleak to me.

I love this video! This is exactly what gives me anxiety about work. I feel bad about myself not knowing how to do everything at work even though I barely started working there last month. Employees make it look so easy and I just wish I could be like them. Thank you so much for this video

[abhishekkadam]

I just got into a new job a month ago
Its a very stressful environment....speedy decision making is key ...but so is being accountable..i feel its going too fast for me...i've been constantly forced into different tasks with little or no training ..although my colleagues are nice people i always end up doing mistakes.. i feel like i so guilty and stupid because i am a spow learner and have always been...going to work everyday is like going to war..anxiety is affecting my focus and overall performance..i am just too busy worrying whether i 'll screw up i am just struggling to learn things...

I've had a couple instances where I got the job, got to the parking lot on time for the first day, and then I get anxiety or a panic attack, and then leave. It's super crippling.

[maryabdel]

I thought im the only one who feels incompetent, and terrified to go to work. Im trying to find a job now i havent been working for 4 years now. Im super terrified. And my confidence gone low

[WrestlingGames]

thank you for this video man. returning to work later this week after being off work due to anxiety and depression. this video has really helped motivate me and prepare me for the return, much love

[amorfatix]

These past few months I've rejected many Job Interviews because I was scared with people not the Job itself. Its hard but im trying my best to overcome this anxiety.

[Suzy-ydko]
