Why am I so afraid of not getting a job? I only see why someone won't hire me due to my gaps in time and my resume of lateral moves.
I am too afraid of rejection and it is making me paralyzed to look for a job.
I know I am smart enough but my last 2 jobs have really made me think I am unable to work becasue of issues of not being able to stand up to bullies and being taken advantage of by others. Obviously when one is depressed it's like waving a red flag and others move in to criticise your abilities and take advantage of you being vulnerable.
I have so little confidence in being able to stand up for myself anymore. Even socialy I feel others are trying to challenge me and push me to a point I am not comfortable...why is this?
What can I do to get over this feeling of vulnerability?
