I do want to work n make my own money but i'm scared of gettin these jobs -why this happening and how i can stop this cycle?

The only insight I can give is that when you are good at or have an apptitude for a specific thing it makes the pressure to preform that much greater. People will expect more of me in this position because they think I am qualifed for it and if I screw up then I have let them down and I have let myself down. If I never do what I am capeable of then I can say " well I know how to do that but ...."
Reply:You did not say 'what' about getting the job scares you.


Dealing with new people ?


Fear you might screw up ?


Getting stuck in an office for 9 hrs because you're claustrophobic ?


Until you know the rest of the fear, responding would just take up pages of us guessing.


Add some details of the specific issue , thanx
