@Former-Member exactly!! Like so far I’ve volunteered at 2 places (one of them was at Vinnies which I no longer volunteer anymore mainly because 1. it’s retail where you’d of course have to have customers talking to you and stuff but the staff on the other hand are nice - except for this young girl that’s a few years younger than me that I hate actually, but thankfully she already left volunteering way before I did. And 2. Because it’s far away from I live and there’s no way I’m gonna have to keep on using public transport and whatnot to go there) and there’s always at least more than one person (that’s another student or coworker or volunteer) that irks me 🤣 

 

yet I have to keep lying to my mum that I’m going volunteering (when I’m actually not) whenever she asks me via sms just so that she can stop telling me that I need to go

volunteer. 
I was looking up at some volunteering roles that involve animals in it, but most of them are filled with roles that I definitely will never see myself in doing and most of the locations are very far from where I live 😛

 

i feel like even with enough professional support I’m getting from counselling/therapy I still won’t be able to manage it even in years time. I know cause I’ve had it happen before. 😕
