Is it normal that i am afraid to have a job?
Let me start off by saying, by no means am I lazy! When I do housework, I kick ass until I get it all done. And I love the accomplished feeling I get. And I have actually had a job before. But it was simple. In high school, I mentored younger kids, and helped them with homework if necessary. (And yes, it was a job. The school has a certain program for kids who need a little extra help, and the mentors did get a check in the mail every two weeks.)
But lately, I've been feeling afraid to have a job. I would love to return to my mentoring job with the kids, but I can't because I am no longer in high school, as it was open to high schoolers only.
As I said before, I am not lazy. I would love to work somewhere, and I have the motivation, for sure. I can follow directions easily, and I learn rather quickly. What I am really afraid of is that I won't be good at the job I get hired to do. I know people with a lot less intelligence and drive than I, that have steady jobs. And I know I am smarter than the average bear, but I'm just afraid I'll be a terrible worker!
Is it normal? Anyone else afraid of this?
