Social anxiety has ruined my life, but perhaps not irreversibly. In college, I never applied for internships or job shadow opportunities. I also never went to career fairs, all because I was scared of people and was afraid of shaking / acting awkward in front of others. People think I must be stupid that I didn't take advantage of many opportunities, but it's really my SA/PTSD that's inhibiting me.
I had dreams to study medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and engineering, but all these opportunities are gone. I didn't do well on my science courses. I won't be eligible for Pell grant anymore, once I'm done with this semester, plus I don't want to take out any more student loans. And I'm tired of being in school for so many years already. I have almost no job experience, but lots of volunteering experience.
