Not everyone is cut out for retail. Hell, a lot of people aren't cut for retail. Just because you may or may not be successful at this particular job is not an indicator that you're useless. Try looking for a different job. Think about what situation would make your anxiety lessen or give you some sort of comfort, and go for that. Assuming you're looking for entry level, there are actually quite a few options out there.

I've been trying to look for other options, but I can't commute rn (still learning to drive, its a whole thing) so my options are limited where I live. I want to avoid food service if I can (most people I know had really bad experiences with it), but I don't know if I'm really qualified for anything else... I don't even know what to look for at this point, I just feel defeated.

Warehouse work, data entry, childcare, phone bank type thing. Basically go to indeed.com or a job search site and put in "entry level" and you'll get some ideas of what you can do.

Another option that might help your anxiety is a temp service. If you have an end date in mind, and know it's just a temporary situation you may find yourself less stressed about it and easier to deal. Just an idea, obviously I don't know you or how your anxiety works/manifests.

Good luck on the driving thing! Do you have uber or taxis or public transport or anything as another option temporarily?

I've been taking the bus, but where I live there is not a whole lot except for a mall (where I am currently working) so like, a lot of people I know commute, which is why I am trying to learn how to drive.

Thanks for the advice. I don't think I'm qualified for warehouse jobs (a lot of the ones I've looked at require the ability to lift 50-60 pounds which I can't do, or the ability to drive a forklift, which I can't do cause of the whole driving thing) but I will look into the others.

I just wish I was good at the job I have though...

+1. Not even kidding: warehouse work was a million times better than retail, specifically because the only people I had to deal with was coworkers. I was fortunate that my coworkers were all pretty cool and decently antisocial themselves, so we were all congenial but didn't get into each other's way. I mostly did labeling of shit, though occasionally got to drive/operate the forklift. It really wasn't a bad job at all.

Data entry's always a choice, too. Tedious, from what I hear, but you also very rarely need to deal with anyone on the other end.
