This poll will decide what I do with the current job I'm at, whether I quit or not. I will wait 30 days, at the end of this I'll do what gets the most votes from the members here.

Right now I'm on my lunch break so please don't concern yourselves with that (I ate already).

I live at home, my father dislikes the idea of me quitting but I want to. He is very angry and harasses me when I speak of leaving this place, he tells me I have no skills or college and that jobs are impossible to get. He's said this all my life...

I like this work, but I want a real job that I can handle. Recently this center has been very slow, so much so that it's going to close soon. I was going to quit but they asked me to stay (mostly because there's nobody else here). I will stay, but how long until I go mad of boredom? More importantly the new position would be in a store that's oriented to retail, and selling. Forgive me for saying it but selling anything is against my beliefs, I would prefer they ask or need the service, not that I try harassing them into buying it.

The new job would consist of copying, taking orders, etc... and pretty much everything I was hired for here when we were busy, but they'll add-on much more responsibility. Honestly I have no friends, no gf, and my social skills suck. I can manage here but elsewhere in that sort of place I think I'd go insane (more than I am).

So here are my choices...

1. Stay at this job and try my best to make it work, even though I see a therapist and psychiatrist for social anxiety + depression.

2. Quit this job and try to find another one that will likely pay less. My father would make it difficult and harass me until I found another job, then even after it likely continue asking "why would you quit".

3. Look for a job on the weekend, probably not finding anything since I'm depressed about this one. Suffer knowing I don't wanna stay here but have no choice.

4. Stop worrying - very, very hard :(

5. Other; Comment

6. Make up your own mind.

7. Grow up. Stay at your current job while you are looking for another job and move out of your daddy's house, so there are actually some real consequences for your actions.

Stay at your job while looking for a better one.

5. You decide your own faith in life in thereafter.

There are real consequences, I suffer in hell or live in hell, either of which sux. Of course I'm screwed whatever I do because I am a nut case! I was home all day thinking about this depressed, and I don't see what terrible consquences happen if I quit except my dad will need to leave me alone until I find another job, which he won't. So yeah, what... I mean so they loose me they can hire another shmoe for less pay that I'm sure can do just as well. And maybe he'd actually have friends?

I believe your job will change for the better

Try increasing your social life, go to a bar/club/sport centre meet new people.
And don't take crap from your parents unles offcourse their paying your housing clothes and food.

But if you realy believe your going to get (undesired) mental problems. I advise you to leaf

So I say stop worrying. Stay at your boring job and make the best of it if the selling doesn't work out leaf.

Don't do things that you may later regret and deside this one for yourself

there is no hell and no heaven.

8. Stop complaining to us.

At the very least, line up another job before you quit this one. This gets your dad off your back, gives you a bit more confidence in your ability to go out there and find something else, and lets you work through handling a crappy job in the interim. Good luck.

5. Stab draqon. Please, I beg you!

Seriously though, I think leaving your parents house is priority #1. I'm desperate to get out of here, but it's not possible just yet. It's not so bad, but I really feel I'd get on better with only myself to answer to. As much as they mean well, my parents cause me mental anguish.

Do you have relatives elsewhere in the US that you could stay with 'til you got set up in that area? If you do and you like the area, why not try that? A change of scene, new people and places always cheer me up. It gives you a fresh start and if it's that bad, move back to your parents. I can't speak from experience, since I've never done it, but I think after being on your own you won't want to fail, you'll feel better about yourself and you'll have a strong drive never to move back in with your parents.

I'm crap at making decisions and depression makes decision making extremely difficult. You don't know what you want and things aren't easy, but you need to do something extreme or out of the ordinary.

Even if you are the biggest loser ever, which you aren't (quite :D... kidding!) there's no point thinking about that way. Pretend you're better than everyone else, but humour them. Or maybe not. See yourself as being on the same level as them, if not higher, whichever way you can.

When you meet new people, chat to them. About anything. Whatever. Then say something like "hey, fancy a drink after work sometime?" or something fairly non-commital. They'll most likely say yes and as long as you don't drop your trousers in public, get so wrecked you need your stomach pumped or sit there in silence the whole time, generally they'll think it went alright. It's not that difficult when it happens, but putting too much thought into makes it seem impossible.

I'm losing the thread slightly, but yes. You need to get yourself out the spiral of low self esteem, same boring routines, same situation and same worries. At least shift things around a bit and be worried in a new situation, in a new place and with new people.

Stay at your job while looking for a better one.

Ditto. That way, if you don't find a better one, at least you still have what you got now.

10. Start your own business.

*************
M*W: It sounds as if your job is causing you anguish, and added to that, your dad is overbearinig. The object is to find happiness. If you stay in your job to please your dad, you will continue to be miserable. Money isn't everything. Happiness is. If you were making less money in a job that you enjoyed (or at least not in this one), but felt better about yourself and more confident, your life would be better. Don't live your life for your father. It's your life. I had a mother like that who wanted me to do everything she said for me to do. I spent my whole life trying to please her. Then I rescued my life from her clutches. I started to excel in everything I did. I became very successful... and happy. I took control of my own life, and lived it myself. Sure, I didn't make my mother happy, since she was trying to live her life through me, but she did learn to respect me somewhat before she died. I looked back at all the things I accomplished that she wasn't proud of, and I realized I was proud of what I had done, and there was nothing I could do to gain her approval.

Take your life in your own hands. If you succeed or if you fail, it's your life, and you will learn from your mistakes and improve them.

Good luck, and keep us posted how you are doing. Just do it!
