after 3 days I decided I can't do retail. someone with social anxiety can't do a job where you are expected to perform customer service constantly. yesterday was pure hell and I decided I will not do that ever again. my job coach talked to me this morning and I think she doesn't understand. but she accepted my choice

I will never do that job again. I want to be nice to people I like, not because I'm being paid to be.

I couldn't stand having to pretend I was interested in a person's whole life story when in reality I just wanted them to gtfo.

Retail employees are not therapists.

I cant tolerate being next to anyone honestly... cant stand people at all and I dont put on a fake persona just to please anyone like I give a shit. Come to think of it... there was this one guy at work too who we used to call Dexter because of his facial expressions and how like he just didn't give a shit.

If you have the option Amazon is a good choice if you've got social anxiety. Most jobs there don't require talking to people. If you get on the Truck crew or sort slide you literally are alone 99% of the time.

In any case, yeah. Retail sucks, especially Walmart I imagine. Food service is probably just as bad, you should just avoid those jobs if you have anxiety.

While retail is terrible, you're never going to get over social anxiety if you avoid social situations >_>

That said, I'm sure Wal-Mart has overnight stocking positions you could take that would minimize your social interaction with the general public. The same is true of warehouse jobs, etc.

In the UK when you're claiming unemployment you get a "work coach" who basically assist you in finding work. Most of the work comes from you though in applying for jobs. Not sure if it's the same in other countries but yeah.

Retail sucks


I like retail and have anxiety. Although granted it's not social anxiety I have. Still it's best to not avoid things that make irrational feelings come into your head otherwise you'll forever be in that prison.

I wouldnt say every job just like 99% of them. Knew a guy who worked alone everyday all year cept 2 days a year his boss would drop by and check on him. Then I know another who does ok doing a work from home job. Forget what but its basically he recieves emails fills some stuff out and submits it.

Some jobs require a lot less though

And some jobs dont require you to act outgoing and extroverted if that isnt your personality

I have a cousin who quit teaching to work at Walmart. She taught grade school for a few years and while she did enjoy it, she said the demand for work outside class is ridiculous and her school didnt give enough compensation to purchase materials.


I don't understand this, why go through years of schooling just to quit? Also how did she get a job at Walmart? My sister tried and they told her she was over qualified, she is a teacher as well. Also I figured the point of being a teacher wasn't for the money but to help the students.

I have some social anxiety(though it's gone down for me as i get older) and i hacked it for 8 years as a Wal-Mart cashier. I didn't enjoy it too much but meh i did it.

Though walmart, at least the store i worked at, went from okay to terrible through the years. Always asking us to do more with less. Not good for my anxiety when the store is purposefully understaffed and I've got 20 grumpy people in my line because nobody else is open. A job is a job however walmart sucks.
