How do i bullshit my way to getting a volenteering gig? I froze up on the phone interview because I couldn't give a reason why the company would want me over anyone else.
Also bonus question: How do I get over my social anxiety to get gf and a job?
>freezing up on the most common interview question

Talk about your talents and how ambitious you are. There is always someone better. What they want to hear is that you will get along with their weeb personnel, policies, and structure. You still need to know your capabilities though and throw that in there somewhere.
>second question
You need to get off your computer and hang out with people with similar interests. If you want to hang out with people with dissimilar interests, you need to start with those you are comfortable with before you go with people you aren't. It is usually best to have a friend in every group.

Why would a voluntary role need you to pass an interview? You feel like lending a hand, you turn up and contribute to the best of your ability. Turning what ought to be an exercise in goodwill into some dog-eat-dog pressure cooker is bullshit.

she asked me what I'd add to the role. Like holyfucking shit I just want to help blind people and put it on my cv. I just froze up and told her I'd email her back when I had an answer. Never did. She said she needed it to give to her manager. Fuck her.

Meh. Try again, you have nothing to lose but your dignity. Just say super positive stuff like wanting to explore a career in the care sector, or you feel a Christian obligation, or whatever. What will you bring to the role? Enthusiasm, a willingness to learn and challenge yourself, an eagerness to improve and broaden your skill set, you're always punctual, you think you could bring an interesting outside perspective to the table, whatever. Call her back. Give her some bare-faced bullshit story like being preoccupied by a family health scare or something, make it something that sounds convincing but which social decorum would prevent her proving into.
Life is 90% bullshitting and improvisation. That goes for romantic relationships too. Just repeatedly push yourself out of your comfort zone until you make it.

I just say "I want it more" in a confident way and they pretty much always like that

My god. I thought if you asked for a job they'd give it to you. Not all this fucking mind game shit. This is for fucking volunteering at a shop. I get if if I was applying to oxford or a government agency but a fucking glasses shop.
Fuck this honesty bullshit I'm gonna learn to act and bullshit myself into a job.
