Ok guys so im new to this so i dont even know if im doing this right but here it goes. So i got a job at the local target as a cart pusher i took it cause i thought well i wont really be dealing with customers but turns out it was the opposite turns out i had to be trained to be a cashier too which was the worst thing that can happen to me since im not good with people . long story short as i was doing the whole cashiering thing i got so nervous my hands were shaking i couldnt count simple change i couldnt do anything and it didnt help that their was some really good looking girls getting in my lane :D. I just kept on thinking that they were talking about me and just staring at me which i cant stand when people do that. anyways after like and hour of struggling with everything i decided to call it quits and after my shift i left home more deppressed than i already was and never went back to that job... Im just affraid that im never gonna get over this mental sickness and im never gonna end up doing nothing with my life. Has anybody ever had some similar expiriences if so tell us all about it i dont wanna be the only person that has quit their job after just one day.
thanks

I'm afraid that I'm never gonna get over this mental sickness either and that I will just throw my life away doing nothing, being a complete useless loner who never leaves the house. I can totally understand that you quit the job, I would've done the same. There must be more jobs out there, a job that doesn't involve much of the social part? or you could try to work with children? I don't know if that would feel better for you but at least I feel less nervous around children. Just a thought.

Ps. Always remember that your not alone :)

Oh yeah , i did that many times haha , when i was younger .

Once i also ended up being cashier just like you , i lasted 15 min and just walked out the door , hahaha. It wasn't because of my shyness at that time , i just didn't want to do that.

It happened again maybe 2 or 3 times working in warehouses , i was literally treated like a slave and yelled at on the first day haha , so yeah i'm the type to just pack up and leave instantly in the middle of my shift .

if you don't like it you don't like it , don't torture yourself , find something that you feel comfortable with !

My last job was as a cook , it lasted 5 years , was hard work but fun .

Have done that quite a few times in the past as felt I simplu didn't fit in though on reflection I guess I didn't really try very hard. Started a job in a factory a long time ago working as a process operator and left after two hours as thought too far ahead and imagined myself being there in ten years from then. Have always had problems keeping jobs and it's as if once I work out the combination and meet new people who want to be friendly I have to move on. Could never figure it out.
