Hey all, I have a conundrum that severely messes with my ability to maintain work. Interviews I’m really good in because it’s a one on one, I know how the script usually works and I’m set.

But when I’m actually in the situation. Everything just gets thrown out the window. I physically just forget how to interact with another human being. I struggle to maintain friendly chit chat that isn’t about things I’m knowledgeable in. 

Asking for help is a nightmare. Like there is a physical stopper between me and asking for help. So I just stare awkwardly or not even bother.

I get left behind in the team and struggle to make work friends. Only a handful of times had I managed to get confident enough to start a friendship but most of the damage is already done and I’m not rostered on anymore.
