Does work scare you at a whole different level from school or general life?

[goldatom]

I have analyzed my fear of work mainly to all the display of ego that it requires, requiring you to act and dress smartly and perfectly all the time. In the same vein, people my own age or younger start talking to me contemptuously when they start working and I haven't. I hate all this display of ego. Maybe it arises not out of me being a saint, but out of my fear of failure! But work and the economy seems to run on greed, ego and wanting more and more of everything, at once and with perfection.

You're right it is stressful.

I find it can cause you to second guess youreself, if youre prone to do so. I try not to let it, because once you see the flaws in the people you work with, you wont be as concerned. There are always flaws!

yea because i hate too, i'm not a good actor yet have to act to look somewhat interested in customers or ppl i work with. It's like forcing to do things that are just unnatural to you

i think it depends - school is outright meaner than work, but work is more egotistical and backstabbing. in my opinion.
