i can't now apply for a single job .. even to work at Mcdonald's or as a waiter .. i really can't .. i'm in an internship and i know people makes mistakes it's normal.. but i but for me NO .. i did mistake a normal mistakes at work and and now it's the next day and i can't go back again to my internship ,, i really fear to work  i fear to handle a responsibility .. i know i'll fail and i know it's okay but the feeling anxious won't let me live normal when i go back home .. i want to be normal to get a job to handle situations without the fear of getting anxious .. it's been 4 years now and i didn't apply for a single job just because i'm anxious

I'm sorry that you feel this way!

We all make mistakes and we learn from them.

And you don't know they you'll fail!

What if you succeed.

What if you are good at it!

You won't know until you give it a try and trust in yourself!

Nine of us know anything new in a job until we are shown.

You are overwhelmed with anxiety but you can be more than you think!

I am sorry you have this holding you back. 

The reality really is everyone has some or a lot of anxiety around jobs and making a mistake or error.  That is normal. 

Many times people including myself wanted to stay home or not face our mistake or error.  i have found that each time i faced my fear over a mistake etc it became easier.  do not kid yourself that all others have no fear of making a mistake big or small... but we really do learn the best from these and with you avoiding them that would limit growth.
