I am sorry to hear that but I am happy to listen. What would you like to talk about?

Question
I used to be really driven to succeed at things. After I graduated college and tried jobs that lasted 1-2 years each at most before I was fired, I gave up believing in most of my abilities to succeed in the workforce
user

Okay, well, let's take this one thing at a time. What would you say the main reason you were fired was?
assistant
Question
Now, even during the pandemic, I have no drive to re-enter the workforce and my family thankfully isn't pushing me to get a job, but I often doubt my self worth because I haven't felt successful at long term goals in a few years

I understand how it feels to feel you are not doing as well as you might. I work in the gig economy and enjoy it but it's not what I'd intended to do with my life.

Well, the last company I worked at, we were all fired....because the landlord raised the rent so hire on my boss the owner, he couldn't afford to stay there, pre-pandemic

Hmph that does not sound at all cool but it can hardly be considered your fault.

In fact most of the jobs I've had, the companies have been sold. In retrospect it's easy for me to realize I should have gone to more stable companies that weren't eventually sold Also I suffer from what Google seems to call imposter syndrome

It's a very unstable time unfortunately - even highly reputable companies seem to be in trouble. Ah I have heard of that. You do not think that you are good enough?

Information,Restatement or Paraphrasing
Well, I haven't felt the desire I used to feel before the pandemic to go get a new job because I felt burned out working in retail for minimum wage

I hear you. It's a demoralising sector to work in, for sure. What would you like to do, if you had your choice?
assistant
Question
I used to do a lot of charity work as a side hobby to help other people, and sadly, the pandemic kind of spotlit how many of us are struggling and broke, so it didn't exactly feel proper asking to help other peopole in wheelchairs like myself who I'd raise money for to go to adaptive summer camp (kids and adults) - this'll be the 2nd summer in a row where camp is virtual I never wanted to be paid for that charity work btw

I know that :) You seem like a good person. I think that the pandemic has had a negative impact on virtually everyone. It's been a very strange 15 months, for sure.

I wanted to finish writing my autobiography as a poetry book, and slowly, over the last two to three years, I began doubting myself and stopped writing because it seems like the entire American population is so easily upset and make s everything political
user

Well, you could still finish it just for your own sake? It would be something worthwhile to look back on later.

It sure would be, I mean, before the Trump era 5 years ago, I just wanted my dad and sister to have something they could share with future relatives 50 years from now about me n stead of a sad three paragraph obituary

I don't think I'd even get two paragraphs to be honest. But keep writing it, don't give up.

Twitter is the worst, I left there in 2017 I think, and that was a good move. Sadly, everyone seems to be divided on every platform these days. Again, it SEEMS that way even if it really isn't You're right. It's my own fears that ultimately I have to conquer
user

I think people just have more of a platform to vent and feel that they can be hateful because no-one can see them. Anyway it has been nice to talk to you .. I hope I have been able to help you!
