Choosing a 'location and time-unrestricted' way of working due to exhaustion from human relationships

It depends on the person. But, I tell my friends that I'm working as a temp.

Well, I've never been very good at making friends, and because of that, I've been bullied and stuff. So, I chose the freelance way of working, which isn't tied to a specific location or time.

I get nervous, no matter where it is. Even though it's the way I wanted to work, I don't know what kind of people will be there, so there's that aspect. For example, even in a restaurant, there might be slight differences between a store in front of a station and one in Chiba or somewhere in Tokyo, so I get nervous about those kinds of things too.

I'm not sure if I can say it's the number one thing, but relationships are quite... It's kind of like a relationship gacha, if I may say so, because you don't know what kind of people you'll match with. So, even in a store like A, no matter how good the job content is, though the job content can also be tough, it's more about the relationships that can really mess with your mental state. That's why I became a freelancer.

Well, in customer service, words of thanks from customers, or even from staff members in the same workplace saying 'thank you for doing this,' are really appreciated. I do feel it was worth it. Though it might sound dirty, it's after I get paid.

In restaurants, it's cleaning up after customers who eat messily and washing up. In convenience stores, it's when someone brings a whole basket just before closing time and beeps it through, making you go over time. In light labor, it's carrying heavy things and ending up dizzy or hyperventilating. In leaflet and tissue distribution, it's when no one takes them.

To be honest, I don't have a favorite job. It's not that I dislike them, but if it wasn't bad, I might go back again.

In a convenience store, I once put too many items in a small bag, and a customer complained, and the store manager told me to 'stop doing that' and said 'just go home for today.' In public utility payments, I forgot something and gave the customer two cards instead of just one, and was told 'you might make a big mistake, just go home for today.'

It seems difficult for my kind of job, so I'm not really considering career advancement. That's because I want to do what I want to do. I'm interested in side jobs using AI, but to be honest, what I like is drinking, smoking, and sleeping, so I don't need a career or skills.

I don't have a technique, but my strategy is to apply for jobs based on working hours, location, job content, or salary. I don't want to do a job I don't want to do, even if it's just an hour and a half from my home.

It's about 20%, I think. Work. 20%. I hardly think about work, less than 5%. Less than 5%, I almost never think about it.

When I'm looking for temp jobs and haven't worked for about three days, I start to get anxious and look for one. At that moment, it probably goes up to 15%, but once I find a job, it drops to 5% within four hours.

It's ambiguous. I do want to continue, but there's also a sense of urgency because it won't last forever.

It's physically demanding, so I'm not considering it. I'm not fixated on being a permanent employee. If there was a permanent position where I could work 4 hours a week, twice a week, I'd definitely take it, but I doubt such a thing exists. Even with temp jobs, if you ask me if they'll last forever, I'm not sure, so I sometimes wonder if this is really okay.

Instead of 'what goes around comes around,' let's say... If you often fall sick and find working both physically and mentally exhausting, even if some people can work 8 or 9 hours with sheer willpower, please don't overdo it. If I were to collapse from such a work style, it would be tough for you too. So, instead of 'what goes around comes around,' let's change it to 'don't overdo it,' right? Even though it might sound weak or indulgent, let's go with 'don't overdo it.'
