 For instance, I have a new job and it’s in construction. There a lot of new people there that I don’t know, there’s a lot of new situations, it’s pretty stressful and I don’t know what I’m doing half the time because I’m an apprentice.

When I’m in these situations it’s like my brain doesn’t function, it doesn’t think logically at all because it’s stressful. It just doesn’t work.

My boss was telling me very important information the other day and added a joke in the middle of it, although because I knew I had to listen and take the information in, I didn’t catch the joke. Because I didn’t catch it there was a few people who were laughing at me not getting it, thinking I was thick. 

Anyone else feel like this?
