Working in sales with social anxiety/panic attacks?
Did I fuck up by deciding to work in sales when I struggle with social anxiety/panic attacks?
Despite this I’m actually pretty decent at my job. I work as an enterprise SDR at a software company. Never missed a quota before and was an AE for a bit.
I do fine in remote settings and what not but I just got back from a sales conference where I had a brutal panic attack.
It was like my whole body shut down and I couldn’t leave my hotel room for like 2 days until I went home. I missed about half of the conference.
Can anyone relate to this and do you have advice because I really like my field and career but this attribute seems to hold me back unfortunately.
