So I applied for a social media editor position at my uni’s student-run newspaper because it seems interesting and like something I can actually do. But I am absolutely shitting bricks mortified since this is my first interview EVER and I have really bad social anxiety. I feel like puking my guts up. I feel like running away. I feel like a snail. 

I’ve declined an interview before too (for a volunteer position) because I didn’t want to deal with the physical and mental stress I would go through the days leading up to the interview. I’m so tempted to do it again, but I know I need this job, and I would be SO IMMENSELY PROUD just going through it at all. What helps is that my interviewer (AFAIK) is a kid the same age as me. But still…

I’m the most nervous about being asked a question and not knowing the answer, or not having an answer at all. 

I’m really really struggling right now. How can I possibly sell myself when I have no confidence in what I know and what I know I can do? I am so scared…
