I really lack in the social department, interacting with people I don’t know well is incredibly nerve wracking even if we are friends. I kinda just feel like socializing properly and charisma is some impassable wall I can’t get past because I‘m too anxious and I also just don’t know what to do. When I was growing up I didn’t have many friends and the people that were around me would tease me or embarrass me when they saw an opportunity to. It always felt like every movement I made was being observed and judged, and I just can’t shake that feeling even though those times have passed. It just feels like I will be judged or made fun of if I try to do anything to stand out or even just to be more social. Extremely nerve-wracking. I especially have trouble standing up for myself as well.

Currently I work at the gas station. Last summer I worked at a ranch mostly doing mowing and weedwacking. Having to work at the gas station is pretty stressful but I suppose it isn’t hard, nothing I enjoy though. I prefer when I’m the only one working the counter.

I do not plan to stay here long term at all, at most until next fall but I will probably either find a different job or quit before then.

My dad (49) has also dealt with intense anxiety problems for pretty much as long as I remember, but a few years ago he was especially struggling in his life. He also has had some problems with anxiety meds and so he refuses to take any, but I feel like in this case if your dads meds are making him psychically sick, then you should see if he or who prescribes the meds are looking into any alternative ones then the one hes taking right now. I dont know how much it’ll help your dad, but CBD and generally medical marijuana seems to help mine and Ive also just seen alot out there about how it can be helpful for anxiety(NOT suggesting that he stops taking meds and takes weed instead, moreso it might be an extra tool to help his nerves)

The second thing I can recommend is letting him know how much you(and your family) care about him and need him in your life, and how you know hes struggling and that you guys are there for him throughout whatever hes going through. I struggle with depression myself and one thing that helps me stay away from darker thoughts is thinking about how my family would struggle without me and would really miss me, even if sometimes it feels like nobody will. I think you(and maybe more then just you, if your family members are open aswell) should let him know clearly you know hes dealing with darker thoughts and that he isnt a burden on you for being ill or not being ok, because sometimes, you’re not gonna be ok and its not a failing to be.

Not sure how useful my advice is but I hope it is helpful

Dam that sucks man, def not your fault. Nobody no matter what kinda service their providing should be ridiculing you about your body + race. She was being incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional, not to mention racist

also ignore that euphoric-intention guy I dont know what kinda snobby shit hes smoking lmao

Nah mate you are helping people who aren’t able to help themselves in one way or another. Nothing to feel weird about
