I honestly don't know how to begin getting a job and living on my own and the fact that no one even bothers trying to help me and just either laughs or yells at me about being useless is really starting to get to me.
I mean, it's not like I want to be this way. I want to figure out how to be a productive member of society. But I know it would be impossible for me to hold a job where I'd have to interact with others constantly, and that's the only jobs available around here.
I'm also terrified of cars, and no one understands that fear. Everyone I've told just laughs and tells me I have to get over it. No suggestions for helping it, just mocking laughter. Do people really think I want to be afraid of them?
I'm also afraid of being alone. I hate being around people for long periods of time, but I'm also very paranoid and need another human in the house with me or I'll go f---ing insane and start hearing things.
No one understands any of this, however, in my hometown. Everyone thinks I'm being dramatic and should just 'grow up'.
But how can I grow up when people laugh at my attempts? How can I become an adult when whenever I reach out for help, people spit in my face and tell me to figure it out on my own? -
I'm the same way. But I'm just told to get over it. No one ever says how to get over it...

We can figure this s--- out. I'll help you if I can.

I completely understand, but unfortunately 'just get over it' is the only way to go.The world does not care if you are shy, or whatever.Everyone was at one point and they made it.Everyone is nervous about working, I see a bunch of youngsters at grocery stores and at malls working, a lot of them look really nervous and make mistakes here and there-fast forward a month later- they look bored and handle work like all the other novice workers there XD I mean the best way to learn how to swim is to get in the water right?
I was a huge f--- up when I started working, but I showed up everyday and did what I was told, the people at the other side of the counter just want to buy stuff, they really don't care what you do as long as you sell it to them correctly and are polite.Don't think of work, just think of holding the money in your hands later on.I wish you luck, pay no mind to those who laugh-people can be dicks. -
Maybe you can try gradually getting used to those things so you don't have to jump right in. Or if forced to do something uncomfortable, bring something comfortable if you can like a book to read when not working. The best advice is get the hell out of that place, but it doesn't seem like you're in the position to do that just yet.
I'm the same way but have no clue what the hell I'm going to do about it.
