I'm 18, I dropped out due to personal problems and I took that time to try and heal, but I'm in need of money to pay to continue my education so I've opted to get my first job ever.

I've bit the bullet and I'm considering a certain big fast-food chain as it's walking distance. I did some research (a worker had even joked with me a little that it's not that bad the last time I went which helped calm me a bit), however something that bothers me is that there's no guarantee that I get stuck in the back to do my own thing every day, as I've heard that managers will just move people around if needed. I can't handle being put where customers can talk to me. Having to meet dozens of new people every day is one of my main anxiety triggers unfortunately. Just thinking about it makes my chest hurt.

I'm not sure what I can do exactly. I feel pathetic compared to people I know that can just knock this stuff out of the park. I just want to feel independent without having to constantly explain myself and how I function.
