I’ve been struggling with a pattern I can’t seem to break: I keep "ghost quitting" my jobs. It’s incredibly frustrating to admit, but I find myself excited about a new opportunity, thinking it’s the one I’ll stick with, only to stop communicating with my employer shortly after starting. I curl up at home feeling like a failure for not being able to maintain even a simple food service role. I know this behavior is harmful to both myself and my employers, yet I keep repeating it because I need the income. I’ve tried discussing this with therapists and psychiatrists, but they often set it aside for what they deem more pressing issues. I recognize that my fear of conflict and disappointing others, along with burnout, play significant roles in this cycle. I’m reaching out for advice on how to heal and prevent this from happening again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
