I'm self employed, and living with a friend that lets me pay very little in rent for a room in his house, great. He's awesome and I know I'm lucky to have this opportunity.
I just don't make enough money by far, I work selling print on demand merch, and though I'm really proud of it and have uploaded close to 1000 designs to Redbubble and merch by Amazon I feel like I'm largely invisible to the algorithm, I only make a few hundred pounds a month, enough for groceries and utility bills, that's it.
I have pretty bad social anxiety and social skills, I used to work in retail but was made redundant in 2020 and though I always worked hard I was never comfortable. The hiring process scared me to death and I feel like such a failure. I graduated from the University of Birmingham with a 2:1 in psychology and I've not used it, at all. I quickly realised it wasn't what I wanted to do but hung on to get a degree to hopefully help my chances.
Anyone here work from home that can recommend a type of job for someone who is:
Moderately tech savvy
Hard working
Kind to people
Doesn't mind repetitive piece work tasks
I'm just so scared of being in a 9-5 somewhere hating it but being trapped, and worry I'd do something rash to myself… So working from home/ flexible work is probably best for me.
Thanks so much for any advice/words of wisdom if anyone's been there
Sam.
