It’s hard when you don’t even have the guts to go to an interview
Hey Sam, I'd love to help with this. Stay tuned, I'll do some research and get an article and video out about overcoming interview anxiety soon!
@@tylerjellis thank you 😊
@@wheres_bears1378 Got that video I promised up! Hope it helps :) ruclips.net/video/ApfTxuqUYV0/видео.html
Same.
relatable man I missed out on 2 interviews because i was scared and gave up. hope your doing well now.
For me, too many responsibilities and too much thinking is a trigger. If I could just fold boxes all day with reasonable pay for cost of living, that would be less stressful and peace of mind.
The perfect job for you is definitely out there, it may just take a while to figure out what it is. There are many high-paying jobs that don't necessarily require a ton of responsibility or too much heavy thinking.
If you let them know you have a learning disability or some kind of disability some companies will give you easier tasks. I know someone who is blind who gets paid to fold boxes at the pizza place they work at. There is someone with autisim at this same pizza place who doesn't answer the phone he just delivers pizza because that's what he wanted to do and applied to do. Some places are really good about modifying the work for people with disability or learning disability. A disability could be anxiety as well. Not sure if some companies need proof then just word of mouth.
@@renmachado1820 Thanks for your comment brother. I feel a sense of hope for me.
I know! If I get too nervous and I can’t think I’m going to mess up a LOT 😩
Same
Anxiety is ruining my life i cant do anything
same
you’re not alone i rot in bed daily thinking of my next move but i CANT move😭
@@1itssyd what’s yo ig ?
Same!!
me too i’m 17 and dropped out of school and have no job and don’t leave the house to do things alone because my anxiety is paralyzing. so draining
I just want a job that doesn't constantly critique and criticize everything I do as a way to encourage me to work harder.
OMG, and I thought it is only me as a teacher who is belittled on a daily basis for 10 years wherever I work! By principals, co-workers, parents! There is no escape from PEOPLE. You just need to develop a healthy "Fuck it" mentality I guess. I accomplished so much in life and always had to fight alone for all the things I have today, never will I allow someone to make me insecure! I won't kill myself for WORK either!
I’m 33 and have 3 children and currently unemployed. I’m tired of applying and then getting panic attacks once I have to start the job. I’m extremely socially awkward and have a hard time working because I have social phobia. Sometimes im shaking so much it’s visible. That makes it hard especially with living in New Orleans where the work environments are so toxic and aggressive. I feel bullied any job I had since I was 18. I pray everyday that a miracle happens for me and my finances so my children can not have to ever want for anything. I have so much potential. I know I do but once I put it to action my mind and body takes over my work performance.
Pray for renewal of your spirit, pray in meditation and keep seeking from a place of knowing you already have it. In Jesus Name Amen.
Thanks so much! I’m claiming it.. Amen!
@@PatiencesPerspective I just saw something really cool as I saw this. I thought it was about them but as I was asking that, I read this telling that it was for you.
Play the lottery 💫 Keep it casual. Non chelant.. Don't be attached to timing or anything.
@@PatiencesPerspective And Amen Sister absolutely 🙏☺️
Try home health caregiver
From one introvert to another, you really can do it. I know it’s hard and scary but your effort is enough.
thank you
I know I can do it but it’s stressful even trying ☹️
I put effort I even dragged myself to go to the interview. Next thing you know, she wasn't there cause she got hurt, so I had it call to reschedule our interview. I had done so much to try to get the interview and to get the job. It was a really long interview I couldn't even breathe 🙃 all that for nothing. I didn't hear back. She would always usually text me to call her, but I didn't get anything 😒
do what? work and extroverted job? not trolling, I think I am missing the context.
I'm almost 22, never had a job or tried to get a job because I felt obligated to help take care of grandmother because her and my grandpa took care of me, and instead of helping her, I found myself becoming a burden, I was always a shy and chubby kid, but now I'm pushing the 330+ pound mark, which has only put more physical and emotional stress on me to the point that I am a total agoraphobic shut-in.
We are planning to move next month, in the middle of February (a little before my birthday that month) and we're moving to a place that has at least more opportunities than what we have here which isn't much honestly.
Thank you for the video and helping me think of what I should do, you're a kind person for even making a video for this targeted group of people who don't even know where to start. Thank you, so, so much.
knowing that other people with severe anxiety disorder honestly kind of helps even though I don't wish this upon anyone.
I want to work, make friends, lose weight and be able to buy myself a gaming PC and make RUclips videos while still going to work and the gym.
To my fellow friends, we can do it, even if it’s not over night, we can overcome these difficult challenges and grow as people together.
Drop the idea of wanting to be a youtube creator.. get a job and go to the gym, that's what will actually help your grandmother which deserves it.. making youtube videos won't help use
I’ve found the best way to cope with anxiety is not to avoid but to gradually work on it as you’ve said at the beginning, I started with a tray line job or warehouse one and slowly agreeing to being trained in other positions/ skills helped me so much because I was little by little introduced to new people/skills/ challenges that I could overcome at my own pace or request extra help or training if needed
This coming from someone who would cry before going out anywhere, shake terribly/ stutter during interviews, and feared everything!
Warehouse job didn’t help me it made things worst and the main problem being the type of ppl I had to deal with and I had to deal with many annoying workers for many hours it put me into depression and anxiety. I would sometimes cry after work the anxiety can always come back its why I prefer a work environment where there is very little or no one around me cause sometimes dealing with many workers for many hours causes problems.

@@tylerjellis thank you so much for your thoughtful work on this compilation!
Thanks for the timestamps 👍

I haven’t left my house in a year and I’m 18 and I just drop out of high school and I can’t work because of this socail anxiety
When your anxiety gets so bad you're afraid to even leave the house, this is called agoraphobia. I do discuss some possible jobs for agoraphobes in this video and hope you find those helpful. Ultimately, I'd recommend trying to take small steps outside of your comfort zone whenever possible. Can you get leave your house at all - even to just walk around the yard for a minute each day? Try and find the smallest steps you can take without totally panicking and take them, even if they're a bit uncomfortable at first.
I’m 20 and lately I’ve been looking for a job. I’ve been told that I’m “lazy” and I don’t wanna work hard but that’s truly not the case. I’ve been nannying for family but now since I have greater responsibility I’ve been trying to put myself out there a lot more and it’s so hard but I’m really trying and I’m not gonna give up.
I'm proud of you for getting out there and trying your best! Try and explore as many different things as possible, even if they might make you a bit nervous at first. I'm sure you'll find something you love and are great at soon.
@@tylerjellis Thank you for the encouragement!
I agree with Trucking. Of all of the jobs I have ever had (I'm a senior citizen) Driving trucks caused me the least amount of anxiety.
Awesome to hear it!
He mentions the first job at 4:00. You’re welcome.
Hahaha I'll have to post an abridged version eventually... I talked way too much when I started these ;)
THANK YOU!!!
I've been struggling with panic disorder for years. And I've had a hard time keeping a job. Thank you for the advice! I've always feel so discouraged after a panic attack. Like, will I ever be abe to work....
No problem! Sometimes it helps to remember that a panic attack can happen anywhere. If we start avoiding work, it's only a matter of time before our panic attacks start occurring somewhere else instead; like at home. By forcing ourselves into situations that may be a bit uncomfortable, we're better able to fight our panic attacks head-on and expand our comfort zone. Keep pushing, you've got this!
Definitely second the trucking thing. I'm an OTR truck driver now for over two years and I love that nobody bothers me, no office drama or overbearing boss. I listen to music or books and get to see the country. And driving a big rig is just the greatest feeling. However, as a team driver we are constantly rolling, only home every few weeks, so I'm getting tired and I miss being home and having a "boring" normal life.
I love learning and I feel my brain isn't being challenged anymore while trucking, so I'm thinking of leaving and getting into a different career. I'm thinking of switching careers and getting into either programming or data science (I have a PhD in a different field), however no matter what comes next I'm already threading interviews, coworkers and having a boss. The fact that I also stutter doesn't exactly help either. I do like the freedom that trucking provides while having a constant paycheck, benefits etc.
Also: I did real estate prior to trucking and would not recommend it. Handling clients, lenders, title people and other agents is very stress anxiety. When issues arise (which happens all the time) it's super stressful, you have to be available all the time. When I wasn't showing homes, I was on the phone all day long and never really had time off. Even worked on Christmas because that's when buyers suddenly decide to put in an offer etc. Nope.
@@patriciamadigan5366 Thanks for sharing about those jobs! I worked as a flight attendant for a while and loved it for pretty much the same reasons you love trucking.
Anxiety is weird in how different it is for everybody... Because I think I'd be more stressed trying to manage the spacial awareness of a huge truck than I would be showing houses! But who knows.
Have you found something else now?
@@Apricot90 Not yet. We decided to at least stay for 3 years and then see.
@@patriciamadigan5366I'm so keen to start OTR trucking.. I currently work in the mines and its so toxic.. I am an introvert and would love this
Thing is I don’t play on “curing” my social anxiety. Got one person in my life that I’m around and talk to and that’s the only person I want to be around so a lot of these are not for me whatsoever.
Yeah and I think that way too. But, something can happen to that person and you'll be on your own. You need to try to think this way now that you have this person so you can try to get better because they won't always be there. 🫂
I really appreciate what you're doing and you seem like a good guy. I hope the best for you in life :)
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it.
I worked remotely from home. Zero interaction with people. Shit sucked the soul out of me. Turns out having no interaction at all have an adverse effect on me.
Totally makes sense. The best long-term strategy for beating anxiety is stepping outside your comfort zone one small bit at a time. Complete avoidance and isolation almost always ends poorly.
I have social anxiety and ADHD with a brain injury, communication is very difficult.
There are people trying to kill me and i just dont know how im gonna be able to get a job
Thank you for this video. I think I suffer with agoraphobia and of course anxiety/panic attacks. I was supposed to start a job back in the school system as a tutor but at the last minute couldn’t make myself go. It was going to be good money with pretty good benefits but I just couldn’t face those insecurities and fears. I feel horrible for letting yet another opportunity pass me by but I also feel like I was going to be miserable everyday. The original job I applied for was in another city with elementary aged children however the company was so dishonest with their job posting and available positions and offered me a job in my job in my old school system with middle schoolers. I just couldn’t. It takes a different level of courage to tackle middle schoolers for me. But I have to live with the resources that I lost but really could have use. At some point this downward spiral has to stop and I have to be able to get a grip on doing life again outside of my home.😢
Thank you so much for this. So much appreciated. I am almost done with a psychology degree and I have panic disorder and agoraphobia and I’m stressing about how I’m going to actually work. I really appreciated this video from someone who gets it.
I don't know if you will reply to this or not , but can I just say thank you and God bless you for all this advice and help , you are helping so many people who go through this dreadful disease and me being one of them just want to take a moment to appreciate your help bro
Thanks a lot for the kind words!
thank you so much for such an informative, well spoken and ambitious video. I have extreme social anxiety and as a 19 year old looking at my future, I found other videos to be discouraging and almost belittling. Your insight and supportive/encouraging viewpoint really gives me hope in a time I need it, especially seeing the effort you put into linking people resources in the comments. it's really inspiring and gives me way more hope than the other videos did. thanks a ton :)
First one made me laugh out loud. Flying is one of my worst triggers. Anxiety events and vomiting everytime and lots and lots of tears going up and down.
Haha, well that's the tricky thing about anxiety. What's scary for one person might be a breeze for someone else. I spent a few years in the aviation industry and met many pilots with social anxiety, specific phobias, etc. But of course - if you're afraid of flying, small spaces, or heights - probably a terrible choice!
@@tylerjellis it's strange because I'm not scared the plane us gonna fail but the decent hurts so bad, it often makes me vomit just from pain more than anxiety.
@@lizanna6390 Not sure if you already do this, but something that helps me is making myself yawn continuously as the plane descends. The descent shouldn't usually be too painful as long as your body is adjusting the air pressure changes. If you're finding it to be SUPER painful, especially in a certain area of your body (like sinuses, ears, etc.) it could be that you're sick/congested and it's exacerbating the issue.
@@tylerjellis its not sickness its always been this way I yawned once going down and it made a world of difference but yawning also increases nausea so its a double-edged sword. I did wear headphones recently and I think sound vibrations may have helped. I think that's how sounds works, your ears vibrate and turns it into sounds.
@@lizanna6390 Ahh gotcha. Well, I'm glad the headphones have been able to help somewhat :)
Being a counselor for someone who suffer from anxiety/panic attack is a huge NO.
You have to remember you're gonna deal with all sort of people doing that job, most likely they're gonna trigger your panic attack.
Lots of good tips! Thanks. Anxiety is brutal sometimes; but can be beaten if you have the correct tools
Best video on this subject! Most videos cause me to have anxiety with the extra dramatic facial expression thumbnails and super loud introduction...lol thank you.
Thank you for the kind words! lol
I can't keep a job
Wow….good info didn’t know others felt like this. I’ve always been out going and have no problem socializing but because of my upbringing and moving all the time I have ergophobia….More so because of being new….having to perform…change…It’s so bad I’ve avoided it at all cost.
Believe me when you’re crying in a bathroom stall during break and it doesn’t shut off when you go home and you have to do it all over again….it’s unbearable and you’ll quit. I’m 37 and still don’t know how to combat it 😞
I’m watching this video as someone with severe anxiety who works as a fucking receptionist
I understand because I had the same experience. I was having a hard time finding work after my job as legal secretary ended. Now I am in a hospital. Last place I want to be but here I am. Started as unit clerk. They phased out my position so I had to train to read heart monitors. The work is easy. Dealing with highly aggressive mean cocky power hungry arrogant bossy unkind gossipy coworkers and hostile management who writes us up for missing work no matter how legitimate it is. It's killing my physical n mental health. This job has aged me so much. It's like high school. Very clicky.
@@visionsmagazineonlin istg this is literally the kind of thing i’ve dealt with those coworkers plotted my downfall successfully
I really appreciate the categories you broke these down to. I am an extrovert but I have panic attacks in stressful situations/constant change which is why my public relations job is not going well for me. I'm thinking of going into psychology now.
Thank you! It's never too late to learn new things or change direction. While I never took a job in the mental health field myself, I can vouch that what I learned in psychology has been MASSIVELY helpful with my own anxiety. Good luck!
God test with lymphoma cancer i survived. But then pandemic ruined my mental health. 5 years unemployed 😢 I have social anxiety. I still searching job that not much talking. I prefer wfh.
It’s hard for me to figure it out😢
Im not lazy. I just can’t find the right path. I just need help but no one around me can help me that’s sad
This is really helpful
Thanks!
I have done Rover and for just starting it really does help give you a boost and your anxiety the boot!! The volunteering at your local fire house for some reason just interests me.
This was very helpful, informative and inspiring!! Thank you Don't Panic, Do This!!
Awesome! No prob :)
I really appreciate you taking your time to make this video and it sure did help me and give me some ideas most particularly being a real estate agent. I thought about this being a potential job before and you mentioning again made me think about it once again. Thank you!
No problem! Glad it could help and I wish you luck if you decide to pursue it.
Hey thanks man. Appreciate your help
No problem!
You helped me lot thanks for that.. I am 17 year old teenager with social anxiety and mental illness's...
Im sorry. I dont mean to troll here... but these are terrible suggestions. Many come with triggering situations... pilot...emergencies, unruly passengers, stress. EMT...are you kidding? Blood, death, emergencies. Running a business? Bad employees, difficult clients, confrontations. And anxiety is NOTHING like obesity. Dude... find another topic to advise on. These suggestions are unrealistic.
So you think almost 1/3 of the population (31.1% of US adults experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives) should find jobs that NEVER challenge them to step outside their comfort zone? What suggestions did you expect to see when you clicked on this video? Because it would be incredibly demeaning for me to suggest that everyone with anxiety stay indoors and avoid all forms of stress.
That's called avoidance, and it's the #1 thing you can do to worsen your anxiety and learn new triggers over time. It is GOOD to do things that challenge our anxiety; this is the main premise behind gradual exposure therapy.
Plus, you're incorrectly assuming that everyone experiences anxiety in the same way. Why should someone with social anxiety disorder not be able to fly a plane? Why should someone who suffers from panic disorder not be able to run a business? It's not like I suggested someone with a fear of public speaking become a stand-up comedian 😂
In fact, I've personally done the (or similar) jobs you mentioned. I've flown for an airline, worked as a firefighter, and started several businesses. Were some days stressful? Yes. But I loved each of those jobs and was damn good at them.
Respectfully, the mindset you're coming at me with is exactly how people remain anxious their whole lives and never see symptoms improve.
you want someone who has anxiety and panic attacks to become a pilot. a pilot who has to be responsible for hundreds of lives at a time lol
having social anxiety doesn’t mean you will have panic attacks lmao, it differs from each individual. obviously try and peruse the right job/career for yourself
I’m a massage therapist with anxiety and clients can feel it.
Thanks for sharing your perspective!
Right on the money! Thanks man! I really needed to hear this!
No problem! Good luck with the job hunt 😁
Awesome vid thanks 😊
Thank you!
Great video I have anxiety and this will help me a lot
Thanks!
Well for me, The hardest is talking whit my mates ad work, i relly dont know what to say, but never The least, dont give up, hope You all The Best
Yea same me too, I dont know how people can talk so confidently
I understand and can really relate with you guys..i dont know but maybe for my case im already aware of it, it because of the environtment growing up since kid with depressed people
Driving fear causes job anxiety when asshole coworkers catch you don’t drive. Driving anxiety caused by idiot family behaviors. I would have been happier if I ran away from home before I knew the truth of the folks I loved .
I tried to apply for a job at waves but befor I walked in I looked inside and thought “if I were to walk in there I will freak out and have a panic attack” so I just left
Thanks for the video. I was looking for the inspiration for my teenager son, who is really not into communicating with people 😅 and soon it's time to think about education, jobs and career. These ideas are very helpful 👍
I'm so glad you found the video helpful! Hopefully this gave you some ideas of places to start. I'm sure whichever direction he goes he'll eventually feel comfortable enough around his coworkers to branch out over time as well :)

No prob!
Soldier, Butcher and Undertaker didn't work for me. I just get random overwhelming feeling of litteraly Doom. Just making some meats and feel like I get a fucking heartattack. Directly went to the Doc, he sayed I was fine and told me I had a random fucking panicattack.
It's a shame my social anxiety is triggered by physical toil. Warm/cold . It makes my cheeks so red and it lingers for so long on my face that it then triggers it even more.
I feel so stuck and shameful that i am a healthy 27 year old man but i have not been able to do anything since i was 13
Also i'm introverted so i get super drained mentally.
Hmm.. Perhaps you'd do better at a job that doesn't require physical labor? Have you considered jobs that involve working from a computer?
@@tylerjellis Yes ofc, it's just that kind of enviroment also drains me. People usually talk around me and my hearing is really good so i get easily drained from that as well. It's quite the mind field to find something that works for me. I'd say something from home would work the longest.
@@lostmarimo It may not be easy, but if you push yourself I'm sure you will figure this out! The good news is that there are more work-from-home jobs out there today than ever before... Try a few different things out and see what feels right :)
I just had an online interview an hour ago for an English teacher position. I was so anxious but kept pushing, kept practicing and memorizing. I prepared for a lot of question but the interviewer only asked 2 questions and she was super nice. BUT I still screwed it omg I'm so embarrassed! It was so easy, basically only a self introduction, how come I talked too fast and my mind went blank. It's already over but now my chest hurts so bad. Is this caused by anxiety? But it's already over, why my chest hurts so bad help 😭
That certainly can be a symptom of anxiety for many people. Whether you wind up getting the job or not, you should be proud of yourself for stepping outside of your comfort zone. The more interviews you go on, the better you'll get at them, and the less anxious you'll feel during them. Also, I bet you did better than you think you did. EVERYONE gets nervous at job interviews, and the interviewers understand and expect it.
Im screwed i have panic attack anxiety and herniated disc’s in my back so idk what to do any more. I really wanto do something i feel worthless but idk what to do or were to start
Don't lose hope just yet. While the herniated discs might limit what jobs you can do, panic attacks can definitely be managed and overcome. Many of the suggestions in this video should be doable even with herniated discs :)
I'm sure you had a lot of info but the fast talking put my anxiety into a spin and could no longer focus.
Haha I would nervous-talk when I first started making these videos. Gonna redo eventually and make one much more concise. ;)
Social work as a psychology degree holder or being a therapist were both very stressful because of the fear of retaliation from people or failure (to serve in the right way/to do a job properly) unfortunately, I do not recommend either.
So I am a massage therapist and agree with what you said, however I am very chatty. Sometimes I struggle to stop talking and I’m not sure if it’s an anxiety issue or self esteem or both. Debating finding a slightly more social career. Was informed my talking gave someone a headache which made me feel terrible for not providing a better service. Any tips?
Haha aww... Well, for what it's worth, I wouldn't stress out too much over one person's negative feedback. You can't make everyone happy, and that same chattiness probably uplifted somebody else and made their day. There are plenty of customer service jobs where being friendly is an awesome characteristic. I worked as a flight attendant in the past and that was one of the most fun jobs I ever had; you can be plenty chatty there!

@@tylerjellis okok
Man I need help I don't have my GED and struggle with work. Am 25 and don't drive cause of anxiety. Is that bad.. just don't know what to do. I had work before furniture store and also landscaping
Good lucky on me
Adhd...really bad memory. I mean really bad. Misplace things I need like my glasses n phone. This turns up my anxiety. So bad I have to wear my keys on a lanyard. I lose everything. Now that I am approaching 60 its really hard to function. Chronic pain is wearing me out physically n degrading my mental health. The jobs you mention require a high IQ and are for above average people. Driving is especially hard because I get lost easily and my brain dont process information quick enough for city driving.
I hear ya. This video is super old and kind of crappy at this point. Over the next few weeks I'll be doing a miniseries-type thing recommending a bunch of other jobs each week, some of which might work for you :)
Chef is terrible place for people with anxiety.
I've worked in restaurants and understand why you would say that... but my suggestion is more for people with social anxiety than other forms of anxiety. These people may prefer the chaos of a kitchen rather than dealing face-to-face with customers they don't know on a daily basis. But who knows; everyone is different.
What a good video. The ideas you gave were terrific. I’m surprised you didn’t mention pamphlet deliveries for the teenagers. Or sewing jobs for anyone who can’t leave the house. Definitely helps even if you can’t be vaccinated. Same rules apply. Thank you.
4+ mins of talking gave me anxiety, let’s hear about the jobs…
Bahaha I know, I'm sorry... Gonna remake this one eventually, I used to ramble way too long lol
@@tylerjellis just bring a wiseass, this is the goods, I used to suffer a lot in my youth! Wish I had RUclips back then 🤣
@@kylemc8851 Hahaha same man!
> veterinarian
> stress-free job
excuse me...
It is definitely NOT a stress-free job.
I don't believe for a second that people with anxiety should seek out "stress-free" lives, but I talk about this in other videos.
Need a job with just a task of things to do in a reasonable time to do it and to be left alone with minimal pressure no driving any vehicle major pressure fucking up company car or worse prison or getting some1 killed if i fuck up also a place where i dont feel obligated to talk to people coming into work or to leave work I shouldn't need permission to leave work if i did my tasks
Hmm job experience is good and if u do valantering might see what job u might like and might even hire u
ong pilot no not when panic attack hell no
Haha! I've met anxious pilots who manage just fine up there, though. As long as they don't have a fear of heights or small spaces, they should be good! 😅
Animals r therapy! Animal pet store worker either with pets or marine shop
Good suggestion, I'm sure some people would love that!
Sheesh he’s excessively wordy
an EMT lol
The first two would send me in a catonic sate🤢🤢🤮🤮🤢🤮🤢🤢🤮🤮
Had to dislike this video unfortunately... Not mentioning the first job until 4 minutes in is wild.. Especially with no time stamps
It's quite an old video, I was still learning. 😅
Check some recent ones from a few weeks ago.. broken down by anxiety disorder. Much better quality, much more efficient. 🙂
For social anxiety being a vet tech can definitely work. You mainly interact with your team and only one client at a time, every once in a while with a difficult client. but it’s not for serious anxiety disorders like a panic disorder. I’m a vet tech and it’s incredibly high stress, fast paced, brutal, and burnout is very common as well as mental health issues (unfortunately a high suicide rate). And contrary to popular belief, pay is not very good for the skills you actually have (running anesthesia, labs, radiographs, dentals etc in a single day). I have to leave the field because I do not earn enough for the city I live in 😔 it’s not playing with puppies and kittens all day lol. The days you do get that are like a diamond in the rough before the storm rolls back in.
I thought they paid good since they are expensive, and I was telling my youngest daughter she should work at a vet when she gets older since she wants to have my home with a lot of different pets. Don't get me wrong, I love them too, but I don't have money to care for a lot of pets and not a big home either 😊
I’ve only been a vet tech for a few years and holy shit it gives me so much anxiety. I’m looking for a career change now because I can’t take it anymore.
I can tell you put a lot of effort into this.. thank you a bunch man.
Thank you!
i’m 20, I had to be home schooled because of my anxiety and now i have no job and i’m trying to find something comfortable for me but it’s so hard
Agoraphobia can be super rough. I hope you're taking steps whenever possible to get outside of your comfort zone; even if they're small steps. Try not to focus on finding something "comfortable" for you, but rather something "doable" for you. With phobias like agoraphobia, discomfort is a good thing. The best way to decrease fear in the long term is to step outside of our comfort zone.
For the time being, have you considered working a remote job?
Me too! But I’m 17 and have been homeschooled for 4 years now! I have social anxiety so I thought about it and I love animals so I thought I would just be a pet sitter! I wont be around ppl I would just be with animals. So maybe if u like animals tht could be a good job to do?
@@Eclixiavr That could be a great idea!
(⊃｡•́‿•̀｡)⊃
@@tylerjellis Most of the time it's not only discomfort, it's that people around you are completely assholes and constantly demotivate you and make you anxious, and you have to work with that discomfort and anxiety for so long time,
The thing is people don't understand and aren't nice enough
I’m 18 and in need of a job. It’s such a struggle bc high maintenance jobs give me anxiety to the point where I feel like throwing up. I don’t wanna be deemed as lazy I just can’t handle too much responsibility at once and yes I’m aware every job has its responsibilities but an overwhelming amount or fast pacing job I cannot deal with 😫
I feel you. I know I’m perceived as lazy but it’s just the anxiety being crippling and anxiety unbearable
@@Vhifzvjif I used to think I was lazy. I beat myself up for it until I found I had anxiety
@@appletherapy yeah do you also find yourself not being able to decide what to do first throughout the day and end up just overthinking everything in bed?
@@Vhifzvjif Yeah, I have those moments. I used to run a youtube channel and had that alot..I’ve deleted and restarted twice now. I have very little patience to sit down and start anything because I get anxiety that it wont work. I’ve read tons of self help books too, so I’m slightly better than I was years ago.
You sound just like me and I'm 23 with a child and I loved every job I had but after a while I start to build extreme fear
I went into accounting because I thought it would be working by myself at a desk. That is not the case. You are expected to talk to clients/ teams daily and be very professional and well spoken. If you feel like you don’t know how to speak well, accounting is not for you.
Thank you, I've considered that job but didn't know that
Oh no i made that mistake and couldn't finish my college course despite being in my final year
you must be delusional my dude, putting upfront most anxiety inducing jobs, lmao
Hehe maybe. Anxiety affects everyone differently though. Check my latest videos. They're a lot better, and I broke em down by specific anxiety disorder :)
Thanks for this video. Seriously just in time for my job search. My favorite past job still to this day was delivering car parts. Very chill job, kinda slow environment, a lot of down time, required a comfortable amount of physical movement, for the most part stress-free, didn’t pay much but getting paid to listen to podcasts or audiobooks or RUclips or music and sing in the truck terribly at the top of my lungs, plus I was the Santa Clause of autoparts and everyone was happy to see me, just all around happiness!!! I’d go back but my life requires me to have very flexible hours, be mobile and available for my family. Btw, just discovered your channel and totally grateful for it! Thanks 🙏🏽
Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot! I totally agree with and can relate to your experiences. Even if you can't work that same job anymore, it's useful to really consider what it was about that job that you loved so much, and see if you can find those qualities in your next job - which sounds like exactly what you've been doing. Good luck with your job search, I'm sure you'll find something great!
I had moderate social anxiety for all of middle school and high school (I'm 23 now).
The stress of school and dyslexia got so bad that I ended up dropping out my 10th grade year. Due to circumstances that were out of my control, I basically had to wait 1 year until I could take my GED. Ended up waiting 2 years because of procrastination. Over those two years I didn't leave my house because of shame, guilt, social anxiety, etc. So, my social anxiety eventually progressed into agoraphobia. I just got my first job in 2022, I've been working for a year and a half so I'm at least getting out of the house some. But man, I really feel like staying inside and not talking to anyone really fucked up my social skills. I'm nervous going into new places, struggle with eye contact, afraid of new situations. I'm now looking to get a job in IT, but the idea of getting phone calls all day really stresses me out. But I know I have to take steps forward, even if they're baby steps.
Thanks for commenting and encouraging people like me to get out of their comfort zone and find a job. I also feel the same being at home for a longer amount of time my social anxiety levels have increased and social skills became poor.
Do you guys ever feel like maybe jobs like IT are actually not a good idea for people with anxiety? It's very unhealthy to be isolated and makes depression and anxiety worse. Learning how to deal with an overcome social anxiety and anxiety is the only way.
@@Happysoul_3 my therapist helped me alot. I would really recommend going to one, in person if you can. If not, online is fine too, I just found I was more comfortable talking to someone in person than over zoom.
Like, I want to get a job... I really do.. But I'm so afraid to even interact with people and do interviews and stuff like that. It's like if I don't get a job then how am I going to live. I can't always depend on someone for help... I wish there was a job that could be like Work at home, but NO CUSTOMER SERVICE, and zoom... I mean I might be fine with phone talk, I'd just get nervous and probably get fidgety. It's hard... It's really hard.
Technically there are some jobs like this. Learning freelance skills like writing, graphic design, SEO, social media management, etc. can all be done by selling your skillset rather than applying for a job or reporting to a boss. You can choose to communicate with clients however you'd like. Sites like Fiver and Etsy are some places you might start.
However, it's probably best you learn to challenge yourself and face those fears. Think about it.. what's scarier: a 10-minute job interview... or the possibility that you won't live up to your full potential and live the life you deserve? Especially with a job interview, it's only ONE day you need to get through. Even I usually use a stress-relief supplement to get me through a stressful day like that since it's such an occasional thing. It's also worth mentioning that any of these things get WAY EASIER after you do them a few times. I forced myself to take a sales job when I was younger and it helped me immensely with forcing through workplace social anxiety.
Literally crying rn because of that reason LITERALLY how I feel i hate it
Same here 😢 it’s hard
Hey on a grounded note, people mind a lot less than we think. Just be your goofy self ;) it will get easier if you look after yourself and breathe, drink good water etc. Try some rescue remedy too :)
i’m a quiet teen so if i could find a job where i just work in the back moving boxes or something like that then that would be perfect
One of my favorite jobs ever was being 16 years old and working at a BJs Wholesale Club. Some days I was just pulling empty boxes off the shelves, other days I was working in the dairy cooler by myself listening to music and sneaking ice cream bars out of the damaged goods box. Absolutely loved it.
I've been through 4 jobs in the last 7 months because of anxiety, I'm currently after leaving another job deciding that what is best for the moment is for me to wait atleast a month to try to go back to work I really don't care what anybody thinks because it's what I need for my mental and physical health because having a panic attack daily I'm sure is not good for your physical health.
Oh my..relate so much to me.
@@jowyschwarz313 and it's still happening!
@@austin8037 really? Right now is almost a week in my new work place after i resign from my previous job that only last about 2 months
@@austin8037 hi austin, seems i really want to chat you..is that okay? Do u have any insta for dm?
Yes! I've actually been thinking of becoming a 911 operator because I get that same sense of calm in actual emergencies! My therapist is gonna think I've lost it 😂
Felt!
You might have adhd actually
I had a job at geico it pays really well but it was a lot of responsibility. And my mental state has been so bad I just had to leave it really made my anxiety and depression a lot worse.
Same…except I was at Allstate.
Flight attendants job are extremely stressful. Did it for 12 years.
Some days definitely are! I also worked as a flight attendant for years and have had to kick drunk customers off, had to perform CPR in the air, etc. However, I feel most days are pretty laid back for the most part.
Every job imaginable will come with some stress. I don't think stress-avoidance should be the goal when overcoming anxiety. A job that occasionally offers unique challenges can be a good thing for someone who needs to step outside their comfort zone. Why not do that while seeing the world? :)
Interviews are my worst nightmare, i stutter way too much, even my body movements are shaky when the interviewer ask me questions. i can’t control it ... i really wish i was normal, i have an interview this week im already dreading going 😣
You're not wrong, they can definitely be stressful! I actually made another video about dealing with job interview anxiety, I'll link to it below... I hope it can help you a bit! Good luck with your job interview, I'm sure you'll crush it!

It sucks when you have learning disabilities, socials and many other disabilities that prevent you from achieving , but hey that is reality, not everyone makes it truly. Even if you say "never give up" that doesn't go for those who keep moving forward and trying harder than everyone else who has a stable brain to learn and live a normal life. Wish they had more opportunities for all kinds of mental and physical disabilities.
If you have anxiety of any kind, I would not recommend engineering because it requires a lot of project management, which can be very angst-ridden and will only exacerbate your anxiety symptoms. You have to multi-task a ton, deal with unpredictable people, lead without being directly in charge, influence/persuade customers, coworkers, mgmt, etc. It's just a huge pain in the ass for somebody that has anxiety, I know from personal experience.
If you like applied science/math/tech, but want to avoid too much project mgmt, then consider roles like: skilled technician, tradesperson, accountant, drafting, GIS, software programmer, IT, statistician, logistics, actuary, lab worker, nurse, radiology tech, etc. You can still make really good money, but without all of the anxiety involved in engineering project management.
Thanks for those awesome suggestions!
With all of these, you need to have growth mindset. AKA - even with social anxiety, if you aren't willing/able to learn new skills, it'll be so hard to find employment. My anxiety lies to me a lot and my panic attacks are awful now. I have no growth mindset.
I get where you're coming from, it can definitely feel like a catch-22. The irony is, anxiety and panic attacks themselves can also be overcome by a growth mindset. I know it can be difficult to step outside of your comfort zone, but every time you do so that growth will chip away at your anxiety.
My sister has kinda convinced me to apply to a pizza place. I’m still working up the bravery to ask for an application, but I’m glad Im making some progress. Im 15, with bad undiagnosed social anxiety, even though I’ve been begging my mom to make me an appointment for years. I wanted to get a job when I was 14 but was terrified and was looking for a workaround like a library job, but none were hiring young. I really want the experience and want to help my family out.
Good for you taking the first steps! A first job can definitely be intimidating, but you will most likely get comfortable extremely fast once you start. I worked at a pizza place in college and it was a ton of fun. You'll make great friends, good money, and probably get some free pizza out of it :)
I promise you, the anxiety doesn't fade, but you can become numb to dealing with people, which is better than an anxiety attack for me lol.
I recommend working at a place with different visiting clientele like a hotel, so you don't feel pressure of returning customers (or returning bad customers). I work housekeeping at a resort and the most conversation I get into is "can I have extra -blank?" "Where's the nearest store/restaurant?" & "where is the 'insert resort facility' located?"
And all else fails, I feign "I'm new, sorry, let me direct you to someone who knows more/call front desk." They're not returning customers, they don't know you don't have the answer 👀 just a little suggestion.
This stuff is really useful thank you
No problem! Glad you liked it.
The amazing thing is that I started having panic attacks because of my job! My therapist said I have PTSD because of it, I had to go to the hospital to calm down!
This just happened to me.. what did you do after??
@@JM-ev3ij I resigned... the thing is that I was considering my life being over because I was burnout. People at work just made things harder...
I have many mental health issues , adjustment disorder syndrome, somatic disorder syndrome and generalized anxiety disorder and recently Major depressive disorder. I'm on Workers compensation and also receiving disability. So jobs that require responsibility and are time sensitive and are detailed oriented are struggles for me. I have multiple triggers. I know a schedule isn't appropriate for me as there are times I need to rest . And when I get overwhelmed I start feeling pain. I do like video editing and photography but learning is a struggle and I started a youtube channel but struggling with finding my niche.
Sorry to hear you're struggling with those things. Video editing and photography sound like great options. Definitely learning curves to overcome, but that seems to be the case with everything. Finding a niche on RUclips can be a tough decision, but I'd just start with whatever kinds of videos you enjoy creating and see what sticks... Consistency has been key in my (limited) experience; if you post weekly you will start to grow an audience. You can always change your channel's niche in the future and pivot a bit if you wish.
its so annoying i feel so incapable with it but i'm not.

I’m 14 with terrible social anxiety I stopped going to school because I hated being around people hopefully this video helps
I know how rough anxiety can be around that age. If it makes you feel any better, my WORST year of anxiety (ever) was the first year, when I was around 15 years old. It gets easier, I promise.
Go back to school if u can, otherwise you’ll regret it. Unless you’re throwing up from it and can’t handle it.
For me I’m leaning towards remote medical coder
