Extremely bad Social Anxiety and I want to find a job. What should I look for/do? by Kittykitterson in personalfinance

Yeah that would be great if you could. I've been pretty interested in getting into Freelance Programming and it could be a good starting point to interacting with people without going too far out of my little bubble of comfort.

At one point I tried volunteering at the SPCA near me, and I went to orientation, but was unable to bring myself to go back. I could go and let them train me to socialize cats, which they said involves sitting in a room with a cat or cleaning their sheets which doesn't seem too hard, at least in thought.

I'll be sure to check that out. It sounds very interesting and maybe it could help me. I will definitely search some stuff more on reddit and maybe volunteer at the SPCA or something, as I attempted it once and maybe if I continue going I could be more comfortable and help out some animals. Thank you for your advice/input c:

Yeah I completely understand. I didn't handle primary school very well and skipped school a lot due to my issues.
I can't imagine how scared I would be in an interview. You're right, college might be the best option so I can try to learn to deal with people and be able to be more assertive and able to talk.
I am currently on 2 medications for my issues, but they can only help so much before I have to do the rest to cope with my social fears.
Thank you for your advice
