My family keeps pestering me to get a job. I know... I really want to move out again, too. 680Please respect copyright.PENANAdieyZ2JHiN

But the thing is... I'm worthless to companies. The economy is declining, so of course competition will be more intense.680Please respect copyright.PENANAMZz6uV4pJ5
And me, in my field. Sure, my GPA is a little above average, but so what? There are so many people out there better than me.680Please respect copyright.PENANA530f05BkY1
What else can I offer to the company? I don't have anything special. They're looking for talented, passionate individuals. I don't have talent nor passion. I don't have a reason to work that's not money. Sure, I like talking to people, I work well in a team, but come on. 680Please respect copyright.PENANAAXAZPl8pGr

But this time, I'm as unsure as ever. It's not even just "impostor syndrome". It's a fact. I have crap time management, I'm not motivated at all, not passionate, I don't like learning new things, new systems or anything related to the field. Who'd want to hire me?
And all this reflects in my digital interviews as well. I get choked up, and mess up multiple times.

I wish I could be happy without needing that money and status. Be fulfilled. Content.680Please respect copyright.PENANAQ894a6agky
