My mom was shopping at one of the other stores in the strip mall where the Big Lots I applied to is, and she said there are now a whole bunch of giant store closing signs all over the windows now. So I guess that could explain why they didn't hire me, and why the lady I talked to on the phone was so crabby. I'm just a little confused by why they would even put up job listings for a store that was about to close. Even if they didn't know yet that the store was closing, I still wouldn't think a store that was in that bad of shape would be hiring new people.

Stores, especially in chains like that, usually have a minimum staffing expectation directed by corporate. So, even if they are closing, there is still expectations and demands placed on them, even as they prepare to close. Stores don't stop operating, they still have to manage the day to day, and they still have to sell down as much merchandise as possible to avoid the expense of either shipping it back to a distribution center, or liquidating it and getting pennies on the dollar for it.
 
Fuck it all

Lonely as fuck

Literally get more personal interaction here than I do in real life

Play a lot of sport and that so not as if I don’t interact with other people but we are teammates not friends so can’t put upon them

Struggle to feel heard - this leads to taking the old Colombian marching and just chatting shit online to try and express myself.

I feel undermined at work so don’t feel fulfilled there

Honestly I just need a fucking hug at times

How sad I am - I take pride in my post to like ratio being that likes outweigh posts

I just don’t naturally fit in with any one social strata so things feel very “flighty” or “loose” - due to being a man of many hobbies I dip my toes in social groups but I don’t have one specific one where I’d say I’m part of the “core”

Sorry to brain dump

Way to be honest, my friend! We all need to find the ways to make ourselves heard and it's made all the more difficult the older we get.
 
Thank you Troi, Avro, Proof

Proof - to your point, I can't be honest list this to friends (at least not yet) but being able to just spill it all out feels so much better

I've always been chasing a feeling that I can't quite quantify, is based in perceptions of others that is clouded by my own biases, and no matter what I achieve it then just becomes "what is the next target" if you get me

A counsellor years ago said to me that "good enough" is a hell of an achievement so don't beat yourself up if you manage at least that (heavily paraphrased for time, beer, etc) and I need to refind that acceptance of "good enough"
 
Got turned down for two more jobs in the last couple weeks, and it's really starting make me frustrate me.
This time it was Target, and I think I mentioned it on here when I applied before but didn't finish when some of the stuff for their video interviews showed up in Spainish. So my mom thinks that the fact that I started an application and didn't do the interviews last time, made them decide to turn me down this time, even though I went through with everything.

Sounds like very wise suggestion to follow.

Wishing you the very best.

Sorry to hear that.
 
Frustrated. Feels like I've missed out on things in my life. An example being their is episodes of Star Trek I have not even watched yet and I feel so short on time which spikes my anxiety. I know it's a pathetic thing to be anxious about.
