You said it was your first and last full-time job... Why last?

[BulletProofMonkeon]

@invnd1245 I didnt get another full time job until 5 years later. I'd been unemployed a long time when I made this video.

Mark, would you ever do a video about medications you have tried? I know it is such a personal thing so I am wondering if you had ever thought about it or not (or maybe you have and I just havent looked through yet).

[BulletProofMonkeon]

I've only ever tried Effexor. I might have mentioned it in a vid from 2007, but I'd like to talk about it again properly. It was a weird experience :P

Superb vid. I can relate to it all. It's amazing what we put ourselves through before we understand, after struggling to do it, why we can't. I had a top IT job, but, like you, my responsibilities grew to include travel and plenty of time away. I quit the kind of job that many would hack off their leg for. I don't regret it. I couldn't go on. What really pisses me off is that I have the ability and I had the opportunity of a lifetime, but my SA was the hurdle that made me fall. Ive been robbed.

Yep I hear ya. I feel like I wont ever reach my full potential because of social phobia. I regretted leaving my job, but I later heard that the company did some reorganising and made my whole department redundant. So one way or another, I would have been out of a job anyway.

Incidently, how in hell do you find the time to type this criticism? if you supposedly carry your families food home under gun fire? Where did you steal this computer from? You righteous ponse!!

Social anxiety is a disorder dumbass, a chemical imbalance in the brain, god has nothing to do with it.

Was the holocaust gods plan too?

How did you manage to pay for your college/expenses if you had no job?

I relate so much/:

@invnd1245 My guess is he fell into a spiral of procrastination, which is a quite stereotypical symptom of AS, and very, very dangerous for the conditions. I'm glad he pulled through. It takes some people much, much longer, like, a lifetime.

What you just said right at the end about people listening. That's what always go through my head when I'm having a conversation with someone when there are other people around. That's why people always as me to repeat myself, and that usually drives me nuts.

[Bellerophon2200]

That's tough man. I'm in a retail job and I can honestly say that I hate sales! It's not my fault, but I just can't connect with people. I just want to be left alone, though, I guess I'll have to wait until I have enough money for college until I can get a job that I like. Great video by the way, I'm glad you had the courage to put this on youtube. I know it's hard, but it made me feel better.

@BulletProofMonkeon 5 years?? Why so long? Is it you who didn't wanna search for new job or people didn't wanna hire you?
