Feel like I'm on the edge of a precipice. I start a new job
Feel like I'm on the edge of a precipice. I start a new job Monday and my anxiety is high. My people and interaction skills aren't great. Mixture or Asperger's, low self-esteem, anxiety and well out of practice. I want to hit the ground running. If I don't succeed in this one it's going to be hard to survive long term. I fear not fitting in, standing out as being very different and then struggling to get by, and my interpersonal skills severely impacting my ability to do the job. It happens in everything I do. I feel so out of place all of the time. And as much as I want this to succeed, I don't see it succeeding.

@jason5 I wanted to check in and see how the new job is going. If you need more support, we're here! I'm hoping you are doing great.
@afunk it hasn't been going well at all, i haven't been anywhere near talkative enough and I think it's getting noticed by the others, and no that isn't in my head. It hasn't been as bad as I thought but it's still on the bad side of the scale.
@jason5 I'm really sorry to hear this. The struggle is real! I believe you when you say you're not being talkative enough. I can mess up either way, talking too much from being super anxious, or not talking at all for the same reason. I'm wishing the best for you. I really hope it gets better soon.
