The best of intentions and the worst of effects

You know you should apply for a job in...
You know what you should do, you should apply for internships in...
But why don't you apply for this...
Oh you know what, you could work for...
Have you looked at jobs in...

I'm sure you'll find something, I absolutely know it
I feel it in my bones, you're definitely going to find something
Oh stop it, you're 100% going to get something wonderful
Just watch, you'll get something amazing!
I'm sure it's going to be fine, you should stop stressing about...

I know they're meant to comfort and to encourage. And I know I say them too. I know they come with the best intentions. And I know they're out of concern. I've uttered these words multiple times to multiple people myself.

But I'm going to stop.

Because whenever someone says these things, I may smile and nod, but in my mind I have but one response:
Just shut the f*** up.

Now let me just go and crawl into my little hole and wither away to dust.

Looking for a job SUCKS. Plain and simple. I completely hear you.
