Sometimes the fear of failure is linked to the failure we've already endured in life and being worried about our own limitations.

I'm 37 and I still have no idea what to do with myself. I only even went to college because if I didn't my Mom would have kicked me out of the house and I would have nowhere to live. I am not using either one of my two degrees in my so-called career. My job is soooo boring and feels almost completely pointless. The very idea of filling out job applications has always filled me with crippling anxiety to the point where I literally cannot function. I have learned that it doesn't matter what you know, it's who you know. When I graduated from college, I was terrified because I knew that I had to find a job now. I gave up a long time ago on ever getting anything that has anything to do with what I actually studied in college.

By the way my biggest fear is not being able to make money and ending up homeless on the street! I think that is a huge reason why I keep getting dead-end blue-collar jobs rather than anything I can actually make a career out of. I feel like no one will ever give me a chance and I can't get hired for even the simplest most basic positions in my field. So instead of even trying I have Panick attacks, cry for hours, and end up stuck with a crappy job that I hate!

It has also gotten to a point where I really don't even know what I like or am interested in anymore.
I also struggle with keeping jobs sometimes because I just get bored. A job might seem interesting at first but after I have been there a few months it's just the same boring monotonous crap every day and I stop caring.
I also hate customer service! Why are people so petty and selfish?!

This was so good! I've been running my business since 2018 and although I've hit major milestones like getting my products into big retail, it still doesn't provide me with a full time consistent income that my family can rely on. I'm always getting super motivated and setting goals but rarely ever seeing them through whether it's running ads, launching products, building a community, marketing or etc. It's such a relief to realize that I could be ADHD because even before my business I just suffered so much mentally. Everything has always been extremely draining and overwhelming and I get overstimulated quickly.

the perfect timing of this!!! Im burning out 5 years into my career, looking into Autism diagnosis and have an existing ADHD diagnosis. especially the corporate world does a shit job of supporting ND employees and takes advantage of our need to do well by others. I know now I need a career change. this current career was influenced by my parents’ expectations of me and not by my authentic needs and desires

[valerievalentova]

No way, this is so well timed... Cried like 3 times today because of this lol. I am yet to listen but thanks for doing a video about this.

[acrobaticanna]

Oh yes!! I am almost 50 and feels like I am only just starting my career!! I got married and had 4 kids...

[ashlwee]

im not diagonsed ADHD but I do really relate to this right now becuase I have decided to do a career change and its been 2 years and I am still really struggling with the career decision but this was a really good video to listen too

[tomduley]

You are so right about the career decision being something that you have to revisit throughout your life. I quit my job a year ago due to extreme burnout. It is the first time I have ever experienced anything that extreme although I have always struggled to be happy in my job. I get bored easily. I am currently trying to find a new job after a year off and it is hard to decide which direction to go in. This video was very helpful. I had a counselor tell me several years ago that I might be ADHD and I didn't believe him. I now know how wrong I was.

Why do I fear failure? Because I'm so damn good at it!

[yomiseno]

This year's paralysis got my stuff messed up, I lost 3-4 furniture in my room because of "me getting lost". I can't think so I am putting it towards something else. I don't want my stuff back, I don't need them. I basically, hmm, just have a desk and a bed in my room at this point, I won't be distracted anymore.

[vaughnblack]

I left a career that I loved, on impulse, for what seemed like a good idea at the time and jumped into a career that I have absolutely hated every second of for the last 27 years! To the point where now I don’t even know what my interests are anymore

[RainbowPyramid]

Get clear on what you want. Much easier said than done

[Hikewithchloe]

Wow, I finally found the real advice for me. People are telling me, why can you not do that. then my self-esteem got lower and lower. Thank you for your video!

[missbluegreen]

Perfectly timed video. I've been struggling with job hopping and burnout for the past 4 years. I jsut can't seem to stick to a job, especially something in corporate :( I'm so stressed about my decisions right now as I am still financially unstable. But my mental health is suffering really bad

[Concert_guru]

Me! I failed many times. Struggling to get by improving my career

[strawberrygoodness]

Gah…trying to write my resume or create a portfolio when I feel like a failure. Not to mention feeling the overwhelm when doing these tasks. This video and others are helping me understand so much!!!

[melliemu]

your perspective is INVALUABLE. I really resonate with and feel so at ease by how you explain things. THANK YOU for your work and please keep it up. Your videos are saving me during a very hard time

[djallalnamri]

if we copy our career on that of a neurotypical or if we forget ADHD in the choice of a career, we are of course likely to face many disappointments: we are sure to have thought of everything except that we forgot that you couldn't execute what you thought about or what you programmed because of frequent power cuts or dopamine.
OK so let's integrate ADHD into the process of transforming matter through energy, in other words TIME or WORK (transforming flour, sugar, butter and eggs into cake for example) and keeping this in mind: I'm preparing my cake without forgetting ADHD and the tricks it plays on us in terms of awareness of the continuity of time, the process of transformation, work, the different sequences of a task without complex, without stress, without embarrassment or self-loathing.
I remain aware of my difference, that of an ADHD-er compared to a neurotypical and I do everything in relation to that.
time is still something invisible that is measured with a timer, an hourglass and/or a clock, but none of these measuring instruments is time in itself:
When I have finished my cake that everyone found delicious and cooked to perfection... let's do another project then.

I just wanted to make sure I took a minute to say THANK YOU. Your DISCO BALL analogy really struck home with me and gave me a great analogy to describe and understand why my efforts never seem to move me forward toward anything. I am working on harnessing my efforts and bringing them into a more 'focused' beam, maybe I will never be a laser (lol) but maybe with some practice, I can at least make it a lantern to light my way forward. 😊 Also, thank you, thank you for recommending NOTION. Wow! I am 46 and I have tried dozens and dozens of management/organising tools but this finally feels like something I can stick with. It's clean so not overwhelming but at the same time I can build my own Personal Wiki (finally a product statement that's totally true) and I can see PROGRESS right in front of me as it grows, and it makes me feel less 'stuck'. Fantastic, versatile tool and I had never heard of it before seeing it on your channel. So again, so much gratitude, thank you! ❤🎉
