vent/rant – new jobs asking for past references is incredibly frustrating

as the title states… i quit my last job summer 2020. a place that i think i want to work at really badly(imo good starting pay, reasonable distance, shift hours & benefits) is asking for 2 past manager/supervisor references. i quit that job without notice. i was on good terms with the supervisors i did have assigned to me. maybe i will try to see if i can get their information. but this is all such bullshit. why do i need 2 references to another warehouse job that according to reviews online has a high turnover rate? im fucking breathing and willing to show up on time and every day. i dont keep in contact with coworkers let alone past coworkers. i have no irl friends with local area codes to ask to help. as someone who has been a 'neet' for 70% of their adult life, including the time…

i quit that job without notice. i was on good terms with the supervisors i did have assigned to me. maybe i will try to see if i can get their information. but this is all such bullshit.

why do i need 2 references to another warehouse job that according to reviews online has a high turnover rate? im fucking breathing and willing to show up on time and every day.

i dont keep in contact with coworkers let alone past coworkers.

i have no irl friends with local area codes to ask to help.

as someone who has been a 'neet' for 70% of their adult life, including the time since i last quit, this is a nightmare. finding a job i think i wont hate is already hard enough. im a recluse, introverted, antisocial etc and self concious about my appearance so the jobs im willing to apply to are somewhat limited. also im getting older, i want to earn more than my last job. if im going to be miserable i need decent money. i dont have a college degree. or any notable skills. i have very little real work experience, only 1 real job in my resume, i dont know what to do. i hate this process. just hire me…
