idk, maybe askchapo is a better place for this.
Does anyone have like...experience or knowledge about hiring that will calm my anxieties?

I have had several customer service jobs, and as much as I don't want to do it again I have to do something and I don't feel qualified for much else.

Looking at stuff in my area there is a part-time position at a library nearby which sounds bearable....but thinking about applying for anything just gives me anxiety.

I quit my first job after working for over a year to go back to school, but I eventually went to the psych ward and dropped out.
Then some time later I tried working at a gas station, but left a note and quit one night because I couldn't handle the hours and dysphoria.
I tried getting a part time position at a grocery store a bit after that but quit after a day or two.
Since then I have just been a neet.
I am terminally unhireable.

If I go to an interview I have no idea what I am going to say. Idk what a background check is going to reveal. I'm trying to get a hold of my life, but it feels pointless at this point, I don't pass, I can't hold down a job, even if I could no one would hire me.

wtf do I even do.

      Yeah, this. interviews are literally just a weird social game where you lie to a capitalist.

        'why do you want this job'

        'i need to eat'

        'no you're meant to say you want it because of your growth mindset and passion for scanning barcodes while customers berate you'

          It's them telling you even before you get the job that it's okay to lie and steal from them because they're definitely going to be doing that to you too.
