I recently applied for my dream job and to my disbelief I got an interview but I'm scared to death to go and will probably end up canceling the interview just because I'm scared. I do well with people in general social situations but anytime I think I may be judged or criticized especially face to face I fall apart. The interview is still 10 days away and I'm already so nervous I'm puking my guts up, I can't sleep, or think about anything other than how stupid I'm going to look to those people. The job pays extremely well though almost 40, 000 / year and its a job i have wanted all of my life and what i went to college for. I hate myself for being this way. I want my life to change I just don't know how to make it change. I have been a loner all of my life. I never socialized in school, never went to proms, I've never even been on a date before. I even had to finish college by taking classes online because I couldn't stand to be around the people any longer but even through all of this my family really doesn't have a clue about my problem. I hide it so well to them I act confident but inside I feel like I'm dying.
I'm 26 years old and really need to pull my life together I just don't know how. I want to go to the interview so bad and at least prove to myself that i can make it through it alive but if im this tore up now how will i be on the day of the interview?
I dont even have my drivers license ...
My life is such a screw up I have such good potential but im lowered down so much by my anxiety that i just can't reach any of my goals. My IQ is very high almost genius level but im too scared to do anything.
Has anyone else here had problems getting themselves to go to an interview? How did you overcome it? When i applied to the job I didnt even think I would get an interview and I was ok with it at first when i did until they told me I would have to do a presentation for them and thats when it just fell apart for me.. *sigh* I really hate myself.
