I'm in college still live with parents. To be honest I never got any job before. Instead I sell handmade stuff that I designed by myself online
Etsy. I make $2000 - $2500 per month while working very little.
However, my parents insisted me on getting rid of this because it's not a real job. I should have got out of the house and work in some stores like Walmart and McDonalds. Not only that, I felt very insecure when friends asked me what I'm doing, and when they knew that, they looked confused because they didn't really consider that a job. I thought some of them even laughed at me.
I'm feeling down now and don't know what to do. I love what I'm doing and to be honest I have somewhat severe social anxiety to be able to work outside. I know I have to get out there eventually but still....
What do you think? Do you have any advice for me?
