Venting Sorry mom

[finalkarma]

i think i am just completely useless. i know this isnt a unique experience. most people will feel like this sometime in their life, but i just am truly useless. its just sad to be and im sure pitiful to watch as my mom does. i was talking to my sibling earlier, and they said that they were talking to our mom about not wanting to go back to school, to which my mom replied, "so, what? you want to be like your sister who does nothing all day?" and like. yes, i know. i get it. i live it every. single. day. i try to avoid thinking it but i know it, that she is aware of how useless i am. but to actually hear that she acknowledged it and is aware of it is something else. i dont want to be useless. im trying to get myself in a place where i'll be able to do something but its taking too long.
about a year ago, i made a post about being incompetent. i said that i wanted to get a job but i didn't know where because of my social anxiety and being awkward. even a year from the time i posted that, i still haven't got a job. example 400 of me being useless...
just a rant i guess because i genuinely don't know what else to do at this point. if anyone took the time to read this, thank you :-) ...

also if you have any job recs that i could somewhat do well in even w social anxiety, pls recommend...

Data entry-focused jobs usually don't require much if any interaction with the public. Possibly certain positions at a library. You would still have coworkers likely but if you're okay with that it can be easier because it's more a few familiar faces vs. constant new ones.

Do you like kids? They're a lot less judgemental and more accepting and often enjoy activity-based things rather than conversation though not sure if that's too people/interaction-oriented for you.

Perhaps something in the realm of IT and coding could also be a good fit? This one does require classes and gaining some type of more specialized knowledge/skillset/education though.

Freelance writing and publishing articles can usually be done independently.

I feel like there's definitely niche and general career arenas that don't require you to communicate with the public, am probably missing many. Have found Reddit posts helpful for job-specific questions similar to this one in the past.

Hope this answer can be of small help to you.

i relate. forgot to add. rn i'm looking for jobs in chat support. they require basically no skills or experience or education. but when places call me back i turn off my phone. i can't control my anxiety. still, maybe i'll get something. i avoid those that say you have to do calls, only chat. and then they call me for an interview, ironic. but it's an example at the very least
