    That's part of my problem with getting a job

    It's hard enough talking to strangers so obviously talking to a potential employer who's judging tone of voice and what you say and how you look and everything.

    Extremely hard to get over that

    You just go at it not expecting anything... Then your not disappointed etc....

    I whole heartedly agree with the no expectations thing. I don't expect anything that way I am never disappointed. Believe it or not I am pretty shy too then find myself striking up odd conversations like I have situational tourettes and end up laughing at myself

    I try to keep in mind that everybody has a story to tell, and we are all human. Nobody is better than anybody else.

    I used to feel so nervous because yes they are looking at everything your doing and saying. You have to bring your confidence up! Are you a good person?will you be polite and helpful? I imagine you would, have faith in you... Youll get a job.

    there is the saying.."Fake it till you make it" gotta fake the confident attitude for the potential employer and eventually you'll have it for real

    Lol Idk how to fake confidence

    It's pretty easy, Pie. Hold your head high and walk in there like you know what you're doing.

    I hate talking on the phone
    And i used to be shy and can revert back to that but I am good at fighting it.
    I figured when I turned like 20 people will think what they want about me but I'm happy with who I am so be confident.

    And I'm alive. Just came in here though and about to leave for the pool

    I think I might go swimming when I get home today too. It'll still be ~85 degrees out
