Thought I'd post this here but would love if women would weigh in as well.
I am in my late twenties now and still searching for a job/career that I'd enjoy waking up to and doing every day. The problem is, I've always been a recluse/introvert and it's only gotten worse with age. I just don't feel comfortable around other people for extended periods of time. I could never work at a desk or in an office environment. I'd rather shoot myself out of a cannon. I have continually tried to work jobs and do activities that include other people but it never works out long term. I feel much more comfortable being alone and find it very exhausting being in an environment with lots of other people. At its worst, I physically get anxious and have to get out. Feels like I can't breathed. I have been diagnosed with depression but decided not go on medication. I feel in-part at least, part of my depression stems from not finding a place where I feel I can consistently contribute to society and to my own well being.
I was wondering if you guys had any ideas on what sort of work makes sense for me. I do love the outdoors, especially the cold. I live in southern Ontario. I did go college. I took cooking because I absolutely love food. I am back in college taking digital photography which I really enjoy.
I just feel like I keep trying to fight against this monster that I can't win. I keep trying to integrate someway into jobs/areas with other people, thinking I am not trying hard enough but maybe I am thinking about this all wrong? Maybe some people just aren't meant to work/congregate with others? I just don't know.
Anyways. I am mainly asking if any of you know of any type of jobs that make sense for me. Something I haven't considered. After I am done my photography course, I was thinking of going into food/product photography because of my background with food. But that's still a ways off. I am neither in any sort of relationships or have tiny ones running around.
Thank you for reading.
And Merry Christmas. :grin2:
