Feeling not good enough?

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone else ALWAYS feel that they're not good enough to get paid?

I actually quit my job as a tutor once because I felt that I got paid too much for the crappy job I was doing. (In reality, although I had room for improvement I was still better than some of the other tutors. Hey, at least I liked the kids and I didn't trash-talk them after they went home.)

These days I still feel like I need to be "perfect" before I can apply for a job or maybe just to keep it.

I quit a factory job, because I felt that I was getting over payed to do a job that was so easy, that anybody could do it. I wish I didn't do that, now.

I actually feel like I am not qualified to do jobs that my more pathetic and less skilled students applied for and got. I just feel like I won't be able to live up to the job expectations. So I take lower wage, more mind numbing jobs where I am paid for highschool dropout work. Putting things on shelves, carrying heavy objects, just work that is below my abilities. Also, I have anxiety about working at an actual job where I have real responsibilities.
