This is work related so sorry if it’s boring..
Okay so I currently work in retail and I’ve been at the same place for just over 3 years. Everyone I work with is really, really nice (colleagues) but I absolutely hate my job.
Recently I’ve been feeling really awful about the mundane and repetitive bullshit that my managers and supervisors keep getting me to do. I’m constantly stressed out and there’s no possible way I can enjoy unpacking boxes all day and having to deal with whiny customers on my back.
I definitely don’t want to work in retail ever again and I know I’m not going to be doing this for the rest of my life but I’ve been thinking about this for a while and it’s really getting me down.
I want to quit and despite me hating my job I know that I’m “good” at what I do. I feel confident at work and I know that if I leave and get a different job, I’m going to have the go through the whole ‘new person’ process which I hate because I have horrendous anxiety when I’m forced to speak to someone I’ve never met before.
There’s also the other problem that I have because everyone that I work with is so lovely and I get on with them so well and I’ve made some genuine good friends since I’ve been there and (as stupid as it sounds) I don’t want to leave them.
Basically to sum it all up;
-I want to quit, how do I do that?
-but I’m too nervous/shy/anxious wreck to apply for a new job
-I love everyone I work with and I don’t want to leave them
Please help me
