Here I sit, at the bottom.
Its not a cry for help or a woe is me thread, I am simply sitting at the bottom.
I appear to missing that spark, the spark that gets you smiling and into a job, opens doors and creates opportunities.
The cold wind of 'at his age he should really have settled down and got his career sorted by now' chills the neck.
Two jobs and to complete failures in two years has kind of taken the edge off. Self confidence has ebbed to nothing - the fear of failure lurks in every corner.
How do you get out of that?
I am not by nature a lazy person but I can only take so much. I've worked since the age of 16 but at nothing that can give someone a skill or career - a sort of butterfly flitting from one thing to the next, never being able to concentrate on anything specific.
How do you tap in to that and make a living these days?
The quietly snoring elephant in the room is what happens to you in your childhood is imprinted and can never really go away - I thought it had but clearly its hasn't and is starting to impact on day to day life - think I will have to seek professorial help with that one - I was warned it might happen but when you are told something at 17, you feel indestructible and simply dismiss it.
I'm definitely going to have to suck it up and go into our dreaded local job centre regardless - I dont want to claim for anything, just need the guidance. Will certainly see if some sort of re-training is available.
So, car-less, job-less, income-less, talent-less no-mark
Would invite him round to dinner to meet your parents? :mrgreen:
