Who else /selfsabotaging/ here? I just couldn't do it. I could already feel my face burning with red-hot embarrassment and pins and needles creeping down my body just sitting there in the car. Every week, it feels a little bit harder to go out and interact with the world.
I gotchu senpai
At least you tried, and did well with the first interview
Keep going brah
Stop being a pussycat. Adapt or die.
I know that feel. Interviews are absolutely horrible, so incredibly nerve-wracking. I recently got laid off from the best job I've ever had, and I'm back to being a NEET for the fifth time once again. The only positive thing I can tell you OP is that the more interviews you go on, the easier it gets. They'll still cause horrible overwhelming anxiety, but you'll be more accustomed to coping through them.
Sometimes I wonder, why do we exist? Just to suffer?
Op dude if you actually did this, then you need some counseling or some shit or you need to seek help or support like taking a friend with you to the interview parking lot where they drop you off.
You need help if you aren't strong enough.

My older brother had the same problem with anxiety making him bail on job interviews. He ended up committing suicide three years ago.

I definitely appreciate the kind advice, but I have to disagree. Counseling and support don't do jack shit. It's an inadequate brain chemistry issue.

you forgot the 3rd option
migration to a more favourable environment

You need meds for anxiety, clearly.
This is beyond self-sabotage.
>>24354133
meh...what's the worse that can happen.you fuck up and people laugh at you then they forget you ever went there after 2 hours

Brain chemistry can be modified with behavioral interventions.
Medicine cannot fix your behaviors. It can only fix the feedback mechanisms.

Nice try wagekeck, why would a neet that has everything he could possibly desire want a job
Keep working and spend less time making up stories you are only paid to do one

>Adapt or die.
We're in the 21st century. It's "adapt or stay a NEET"
