i just had an interview for a minimum wage job. i have really bad social anxiety but i felt i could handle this. i mean this is my 4th job interview. but for some reason i completely screwed it up. i stuttered, i didnt know where to put my hands, i answered the questions like a 4 year old would, and when it was time to leave i didnt understand and they were like what are you still doing here? so i left but i pushed a door that was a pull door and OMG i litterally cant be alive right now. one of the worst moments of my life. i was already hired before this encounter and im pretty sure i screwed it up so bad im unhired.

my confidence is back to 0. how do i deal with this

    Sometimes I remember things from years ago and wince in embarrassment. It's normal for these things to happen. Talk back to your thoughts and remind yourself that you did the best you could at the time.

    It's called being human. It's bad sometimes I know, but the best thing to do is learn from it. There isn't much else you can do.

    Every single human being has these moments. They are learning experiences, if nothing else good comes out of them.
    You will go over and over this in your mind until it is either supplanted by something better to think about or until you drive yourself nearly crazy. Just remember, hindsight is 20/20. Next time you will do better, I'm sure.
