Social Anxiety Support

XxArmyofOnexX · 09-25-2009, 11:07 AM

Got a new job this week working for a web company. Unlike my last interview that I had for a store, this one went really well I think. I wasn't nearly as nervous as then, because I wasn't over-thinking everything that I was supposed to say.

Last time I got all this advice as to what to say, and when I actually went, I was really nervous because it was too much. But this time I just answered questions as if it was just another conversation, so definitely way less SA. Also unlike my last job, this one is in NYC and not in middle-of-nowhere Westport, so I get to be around more people, doesn't feel as lonely and isolated.

That's great man! It's a wonderful feeling to be able to answer questions naturally and not over think everything. I wish you the best of luck on your new job!
