I am a young guy trying to take a chance and get my first job at a local discount bin store, but my anxiety is paralyzing me. I pulled straight A's in college, but the workload completely took over, I was isolated with no friends, and I ended up burning out heavily. Along with the meanest guy ever for a professor, and now plan to never return to college. Now, my brain is terrified that if I try to work, I will fail just like I did in college. On top of that, I have severe anxiety about interacting with the owners if they are men, and I only speak English, so I am scared of a language barrier if the local staff mostly speak another language. I want to walk in and apply, but I do not drive. My mom is willing to take me, but she is already completely overwhelmed driving my brother to work and running errands, and seeing her stressed makes me feel too guilty and overwhelmed to ask for a ride. I am terrified of ending up isolated and alone because I was too scared to take a chance. How can I overcome this fear of failing and just want help
