Today I wanted to share what life is like as a Professional Scared Person or as a PSP as we will call it from now on.
In the morning, this here PSP wakes up thinking that she has missed everything important that could have ever happened throughout the day. In reality, I missed like two text messages and maybe an email from some store telling me something is now twenty percent off.
Then I make food. What if I start making something and then don't have all of the ingredients? What am I doing? What if I set the house on fire?
Lately I've been making some phone calls after breakfast (usually brunch) and breathing exercises before each phone call is a must. Talking on the phone makes me so, so nervous, and I don't know why. They're especially difficult when I am trying to follow-up places for a job. I don't want to sound stupid, but here I am.
For the rest of the day I am usually applying for more jobs. Let me tell you, there is no greater villain in the PSP world than the cover letter. What do I put to not sound stupid and sound maybe kind of qualified? How do they want me to send this? Will they know that I cried from stress while writing this?
Sometimes I do some fun things that don't make me scared like taking a walk or reading. I thrive when I'm alone, but I also love being around people. It's hard, but the only thing I can do is learn to deal with my issues and keep on moving. Being a Professional Scared Person isn't all that bad once you learn how to work through it.
Now, is anybody else out there a Professional Scared Person, or am I just completely irrational? Let me know!
