I Have Social Anxiety

I recently got a job offer at this marketing company that sells very high quality cutlery.

What I'm supposed to do is write down the names of people and their numbers to set up appointments on specific days go to go to their homes and do presentations of the product the company is trying to sell.

Thing is, I'm already thinking about getting another job, because the anxiety I'm getting is reaching the point of mortification.

I already struggle with trying to have a casual conversation with someone just to try to be their friend, so imagine how awkward it's going to be to attempt to even call some random phone number just to try to schedule an appointment to sell something.

Even the manager just speaking about eventually having to call numbers to set up appointments was very embarrassing.

I left the office completely mortified and I feel like I'm going to die of embarrassment.

I have a lot of anxiety, social and generalized, and when in high school I was a part of National Honor Society. The teacher in charge required that we all volunteered to help take paperwork at the blood drives our school hosted. This included calling past donors and asking if they wanted to set up an appointment. It was extremely mortifying for me and I only had to do it for an hour twice a year, couldn't imagine doing it as a job. My advice is keep the job but look for another more within your comfort zone . Best of luck!
