My Social Anxiety is beginning to catch up with me in a way I didn't really see coming. Before, I used to be more outgoing and had no problem coming up with people to use as references on applications for new jobs. Now, since I have become a lot more withdrawn, I haven't made many close friends from previous jobs. This is a problem now because most jobs that I apply for request at least 3 work references. I have 2 people who I can still use somewhat reasonably. The 3rd person is an old, OLD supervisor who I worked for a really long time ago. The last time I used her and the company called her, I felt really bad. She must be wondering what's wrong with me that I keep using her after so long. I felt so bad that I sent her a present and some chocolates. I don't know what to do about my continuing shrinking pool of friends. I guess I better try harder at making friends at work. :sad:
Has this become a problem for any of you?
