Frustration

I'm getting more and more frustrated as time goes on.  A long time ago when I was at UCSD, I decided check on the progress of people I have met in the past.  Everybody is moving on with their lives, they're working on their careers, getting promotions, even starting families, but here I am doing absolutely nothing.  It's absolutely frustrating.  Reviewing my interviews over and over again has me kicking myself.  So many times I fucked it up.  I can't believe my shitty personality is now costing me the ability to get a job/internship.  I should have dealt with fixing my personality years ago even before arriving at UCSD, but I kept putting it off again and again.  Now I'm going to grad school when I don't really want to.  A long time ago, I wrote about being afraid of being alone and over-educated, but now it looks more and more like it's going to be my future  I am afraid of what's to come.

Several weeks ago, researchers found that interviews tend to favor extroverted narcissists.  I guess I have to become one to get a job.  Several new opportunities and internship popped up and I'll be applying.  Whether it's more opportunities to succeed is questionable.
