I’m applying to jobs cuz my dad keeps bugging me. But all these jobs require a “friendly” “enthusiastic” and “outgoing” type of person. Ive been told that I’m rude or something similar but it’s just a misunderstanding. I’m just awkward asf. How do I stop being so fucking AWKWARD and ANXIOUS????? I can’t STAND IT. I just sit there in SILENCE and people think I’m being a bitch.

    Retail sales cured me.
    Nothing like dealing with stupid angry Karen's all day to shock the anxiety out of you. Well it'll either work or you'll be worse off, so 50/50 chance right?

    Practice interview questions - especially the more open ended and social ones like "so, can you tell us a bit about yourself?" Small talk sounds like a weird thing to practice too, but it can help.

    Read „How to win friends and influence people“ by Dale Carnegie. Its a cringe title, but the book covers basic techniques around social interaction. Following the basic rules there should bring you 95% of the way.
    Warren Buffet was awkward, read and applied this book, which obviously helped him.

    Or take a year off any responsibilities. Get high all day and work in a low skill field. After a year of that. Get sober and try to rehash what you've learned.

    Maybe even 6 months will do.
