Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I want to message someone in a field I’m curious about, but I freeze on what to even say
• My whole job search is just refreshing job boards and firing off applications into the void, competing with hundreds of strangers for whatever happens to be posted
• I keep dropping problems on my boss’s desk and waiting for them to tell me what to do, and I can feel it reads as me not owning my work
• Someone’s pushing a demand on me that I just can’t meet, and I know if I flatly say no it turns into a fight
• Someone asks me for something and I just say yes before I’ve even thought about it, and now I’m buried under things I never wanted to take on
