Hello, iam Wendy Fleury, Don’t work too hard.
Ah man, I’m scared sick! I mean, it’s like my stomach is in knots and my heart’s pounding out of my chest. It’s like I’m walking on eggshells, just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Ugh! You know what I mean? It’s so nerve-wracking!
Why Am I Scared To Call In Sick? [Solved]
Well, it looks like social anxiety might be the culprit behind that fear of calling in sick. Dr. from Clinic Psychology Manitoba said it’s probably related to “letting people down or confrontation or general fear of negative evaluation.” Yup, sounds about right!
