I absolutely hate the requirements to “dress professionally” and “act professional” and even create a LinkedIn profile for a fake “professional” persona for myself, just to convince potential employers that I meet their preconceived and utterly arbitrary idea of what a good worker is

the whole thing makes me want to take a shower - I hate it T_T

but I’m thinking about making a LinkedIn unfortunately, because it seems like I need connections in order to get any kind of job at all, and making connections offline is extremely difficult for me as someone with crippling social anxiety
