I feel somehow like I cheated the system because of how successful I have been at my job despite my problems. I deliver papers in the very early mornings and have managed to make lemonade out of lemons as I do routes no one wanted to do and get paid extra for doing it. My job is not the kind of job that is normally linked to being successful. I feel guilty that a lot of people with the same social problems end up living at home needing their parents help or simply can't make ends meet yet I am succeeding with a job considered childish. The thing is that it's the only way I can succeed as I don't work with anyone else and it's in the middle of the night. So no drama with other people.
On top of that I recently was offered the option of doing a short run for a lot more money again only I was willing to do it as it has high miles yet I feel guilty because other people with social anxiety are struggling.
I also at one time had gynenocyamastia(man boobs) and had to surgically remove them which was expensive. Some people with the disorder never get to afford the surgery so I find myself feeling miserable that I managed because I am being overpaid in my job. I also feel miserable that I managed to fix my teeth which I wasn't taking proper care of, yet my brother is in the same boat and can't afford to get his teeth fixed.
I think the major reason I feel guilty is that I am succeeding to a high level with a little kids job. Plus my co workers don't make anywhere near what I make because I tend not to mind doing things the other drivers would refuse to do so my bosses count on me when asking for extra work. I also have been keeping what I make secret so my coworker won't complain and get jealous. So I feel I am being sneaky, but I have to be. I can' function in any other job and need to keep this one going. I feel like they can function in other jobs and I feel like I can't and have to get overpaid in order to make my living.
