sorry to post so much, but now im worried as hell. is it true what someone on reddit said? i’d take it with a grain of salt, but they said i’d be bad at both being a tutor and a barista, both jobs i wanna work at, due to my disability making it slow and that i’m not good enough and that they wouldn’t pay me to help their kids because i don’t know either skill inside and out. however, another person on lemmy said they were being a jerk and that you gain experience by working and watching others.

idk what to believe :( the lemmy user sounds reasonable and sensible, but idk, im worried im gonna be terrible in the working industry because i dont have much of a skillset for anything as im disabled and my memory and reflexes are wack and i cant talk well (i stutter and freeze sometimes) despite being more extroverted, and my disability makes it hard for me to do so many other things.

atp i won’t be able to get a job anywhere because im not fast enough or a good worker...

RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
