I love this one! My favorite being āitās not a competitionā.
It doesnāt help at all when people minimize my feelings by telling me āsomeone else has it worseā.

Another sign of social anxiety Iād seen elsewhere was, āyou make up scenarios in your head where you get embarrassedā.
I thought I was the only one who does that!

Anyone would be frustrated and feeling off after such a rocky start. We beat ourselves up over so much. One thing I keep reading lately is when our mind starts with all that, respond as you would to a friendā¦if a friend told you that interview story, would you focus on what they may have done wrong? Nope, you would praise their initiative in working thru the snafu, build them up, etc. 
Insecure is a normal response. Plus, getting used to video interviews, not in person, can be a process.

In Portugal the usage of every drug was decriminalised and the money saved from punishing people and policing usage was invested in reintegration of people into society with incentives. Drug abuse, hospitalisations and drug deaths plummeted.

In my experience interviewers donāt judge only on the first few minutes, but on the entire interview. When I went to the interview for my current job the interviewer asked me:āWho is Janā. I was unprepared and blurted out:āI am Jan and Iām an addictā. I thought I was done for when I saw his face. I told him that Iām in recovery and everything. He saw the big picture and gave me a chance. Iām certain your interviewer will see the big picture and not only the rocky start. And otherwise screw that guy, heās not suited to be an interviewer

I love this. A night time inventory as described to me in recovery always sounded like never ending negativity. I have always argued for appreciating successes as well as learning from experience.
