In high school I was tortured by kids 
because I was really quiet. I also had to give many dreadful presentations 8O . Because of those things, when I graduated I didn’t even consider getting a job. I was so happy just staying at home, chillin by myself or with my sister and cousin (my two only friends). **I’d help around the house, babysit my two cousins for free, go online, watch TV, go shopping, go hiking and take lotsa pics with my digital camera.**
Almost four years later, things are pretty much the same. The only difference is I recently went to the doctors and am now on meds (They are helping but I am still a little shy ). I also want more friends and have been considering getting a job. Ok, now I need to go out there and just try… but… I dunno, it’s just weird and I don’t know what to say!!
Like I said, its been almost four years since I graduated; almost four years of living in my safe, comfortable rut and although it makes perfect sense to me why I chose to live this way, I don’t think other people will understand.
I’ve had people ask me “What have you been doing since you graduated?” and when I tell them (**the stuff listed above) they ask me another humiliating question: “Well, don’t you get bored?” My answer is lame. Is there a different way I can say it or an interesting thing I can add to get people off my back? Would it help to mention that mom and dad never made me get a job and so I was jus chillin but now that moneys tight and I’m getting bored I decided to get a job? And what am I supposed to say to “Don’t you get bored”?
And as for the job- During an interview I’m sure I’ll get asked what I’ve been doing since I graduated. What can I tell them so that I have a shot at getting the job? I don’t want them thinking I was just being lazy and I don’t want to tell them about my social phobia. Do they consider babysitting a job?
