My family keeps pestering me to get a job. I know... I really want to move out again, too. 448Please respect copyright.PENANAfaHSZhtxY2

But the thing is... I'm worthless to companies. The economy is declining, so of course competition will be more intense.448Please respect copyright.PENANA9cbTtk7Gi1
And me, in my field. Sure, my GPA is a little above average, but so what? There are so many people out there better than me.448Please respect copyright.PENANALDZdOoBjtu

I don't have a reason to work that's not money. Sure, I like talking to people, I work well in a team, but come on. 448Please respect copyright.PENANAT0YP9MTQ56

But this time, I'm as unsure as ever. It's not even just "impostor syndrome". It's a fact. I have crap time management, I'm not motivated at all, not passionate, I don't like learning new things, new systems or anything related to the field. Who'd want to hire me?
And all this reflects in my digital interviews as well. I get choked up, and mess up multiple times.
I just... 448Please respect copyright.PENANAVqwdNsaGyX

I wish I could be happy without needing that money and status. Be fulfilled. Content.448Please respect copyright.PENANAAsnHi57sYE
