Career ramblings
If I could build my self-esteem up, teaching could be a really good career for me.
I would most want to teach math or history at the HS level; or psych or anthropology at the community college level.
Probably HS for a few years while I save up for grad school, then get a masters to teach at college. That actually makes me feel excited.
My other thought was vet tech stuff, but teaching seems like a better investment and has more advancement opportunities.
Hey, my friend Red is having a really shit year and is looking for some help raising funds for medical stuff.

Coping tactics rant
P.S. This is about my dad, not anybody here, just to make that clear. I'm visiting family and that can be a frustrating experience for me at times.
Coping tactics rant
I can't stand people who deal with their feelings of inadequacy, shame, sadness, etc., through anger. You know, people who externalize those feelings and make them everyone else's problem.
It just frustrates me. I'm used to perceiving everything as my fault, and turning that shame inwards. It's just so unfair that other people think they can cope by making everyone else feel shitty. I don't get that at all.
Social anxiety
I want so much to be better at connecting with people.
I *love* it when I successfully connect with other people. I cherish those moments so much.
But I have so much fear and overwhelm, it's like a static that constantly surrounds me and makes it hard to reach people.
These thoughts come up when I worry about my job. I'm afraid my client is going to fire me and this fear isn't unreasonable.
I gotta keep reminding myself that this mood is temporary. :/
