I'm naturally a little ditzy, I'll admit, but my anxiety, low self-esteem, and lack of consistent interaction with people out in the real world makes me do and say such stupid things. It's like I can't comprehend things because my brain is so filled with needless worry and it's always racing. Or I am so focused on maintaining my cool around people that I end up not even paying attention to what they're saying, and by the end of the conversation it's like, "Oh, ****, what did she just tell me?" I get SO flustered, especially in a job setting, that it's as if I am mentally retarded and can't comprehend simple instructions or do the simplest task. I get so nervous that I'm going to mess up and do something stupid, and this in turn makes me do just that. This really depresses me because I am intelligent, thoughtful, and graduated from college with honors, and yet my anxiety makes me seem like a dysfunctional nimrod who can't get a simple job.
