My mom's spent a bunch of time arguing with me about how I should be a lawyer and I keep telling her I fucking hate arguing and conflict and the fact that I'm arguing at all is being used against me. :\

Also she keeps insisting I could do it because I'm sooo smart. There's thousands of lawyers out there who are dumber than me, that isn't the issue, the issue is do I have the temperament and how much more can my mental health take.

#kaesa op #venty post #i know there's kinds of law where you don't have to do confrontation but a lot of it is incredibly boring #I'd be banking on being fascinated by one of those limited areas of law #and I'd be spending a LOT of time and money and energy on it #and i barely have the energy to keep applying for jobs and occasionally feeding myself #like it is genuinely a fucking struggle #the past few years have been some of the roughest on my mental health and it feels like people are like “why don't you just try harder!#you're doing so great!#you had six interviews in twelve months and the economy is amazing!“#and they get mad at me for feeling hopeless #meanwhile im asked to explain my resume gap #by people who want to pay me $20k less a year than what the Think Positive people claim i should be making #and they're like hmm it looks like you were unwilling to kill your grandmother to keep doing your shitty minimum wage job #people just don't want to work #id love to work but if you don't believe me id also love to take a vegetable peeler to your dick actually
