What... makes you just plain uncomfortable? For me, being forced into suggestive situations and meeting new people.
What... makes you just plain uncomfortable? For me, being forced into suggestive situations and meeting new people.
Being around people I don't know in a situation where I'm supposed to interact with them... Parties, dinners, conferences, whatever.
I used to be terrified of ending up some in a room with an acquaintance and then having to try and make small talk. I used to avoid places because of it haha. But I've gotten a lot better at that, thankfully.
I just hate job interviews.
You gotta get dressed up really nice and proper, be super-prepared, have to talk a TON, smile even though you'd rather be doing something else, and try to be professional in front of new people while answering questions that just hit high on the "duh" factor.
Why do you want to work here?
Because I need money and society forces me to earn it!
Where do you see yourself in five years?
How would I know? Does it look like I have a crystal ball?
What did you do in your last position?
My resume is RIGHT in front of you! Why else did I give it to you!?
What kind of salary would you like?
Hmm... as high as possible?
Do you prefer working alone or in groups?
You always do both to some degree no matter what the position is!
What's your weakness?
-Insert something witty that has nothing to do with work, such as dancing, singing, juggling, or tightrope walking!
This kind of stuff drives me crazy, and it shows up on every interview. You're forced to answer these kinds of questions in a way that just isn't really you, nor do they make any sense in real people terms. But if you don't, bam, you blow the interview and you aren't considered "professional."
Quit asking me it's not like I have 2020 vision. Eh? Ehhhh? Shoot it's 2016 isn't it! *sigh*
Well, it depends. If it's social interaction, then if I'm talking to girls, when they start gossiping I feel very uncomfortable because I myself am not a fan of gossip. But you know, there's no avoiding that. And if it's guys it's the inevitable talk of porn and such. The guys in my coding class have learned (I'm the only girl in the class just FYI) not to talk about it within earshot of me but it still happens. I also find clothes shopping uncomfortable and talking about my body to… just about anyone.
