Good day, host. I am aware of your disappointment and frustration.
From your description, it appears that this is your inaugural experience with the workforce. You perceive the responsibilities inherent to the position for which you are currently applying to be exceedingly intricate, and you are relatively slow to acquire the requisite knowledge and expertise. You lack experience and are unfamiliar with the typical work process, which often results in errors. Furthermore, your colleagues, who are understandably impatient, have been critical of your performance and have even resorted to labeling you as "worthless," which is disrespectful and hurtful.
It is reasonable to assume that the majority of individuals would prefer work processes to be somewhat more straightforward to learn, even in the absence of any potential for simplification. Furthermore, it is likely that the majority of individuals would also prefer to be able to quickly learn any necessary skills or knowledge.
In the workplace, it is reasonable to expect colleagues to demonstrate patience and respect for one another's contributions, rather than undermining the value of others through casual remarks or actions.
Is this the desired outcome of one's life? If this is the case, are you prepared to muster the courage to identify the root cause of the problem and determine the appropriate course of action?
If one desires a more straightforward workflow or a more studious environment, it may be beneficial to consider whether the current position requires a specific level of experience or is ill-suited to one's personality.
It is inevitable that there will always be individuals within any given society who are unable to perform certain tasks. To illustrate this point, consider the following scenario: if I were to attempt to learn how to cook a simple dish, such as boiling an egg, I would inevitably make one of three mistakes. Either I would over-salt the egg, under-salt it, or burn it. Even if I were to attempt to chop green onions, I would likely chop them incorrectly. The dish I cooked would be completely inedible, and I would eventually have to give up.
I assisted a friend in selling items, but I became so nervous around strangers that I was unable to speak. I could only stand back and process the transactions. Even then, when it came to collecting the money, I made mistakes and collected fake money, so I was too ashamed to continue. Ultimately, I sought employment in the service industry to support myself financially. Interestingly, I was quite proficient at it. I grasped the tasks quickly, and I discovered that I was also interested in the accounting work of my company's accounting colleague. I gradually learned to perform the accounting tasks with my colleague.
It is evident that the process is not straightforward and requires a significant investment of time, given that it typically takes more than a few days or two to acquire a new skill. Fortunately, my colleague in accounting was remarkably patient, and I took the opportunity to treat her to dinner every other day. Despite her impatience, she was too embarrassed to express her frustration or even acknowledge that I had a slower learning curve. The entire process spanned over a year, nearly two years in total. This illustrates the considerable time and effort required to learn a new skill, unless it is particularly straightforward, or even as simple as eating.
The complexity of the skill in question is a significant factor in determining the time required for learning. For instance, it is unlikely that I would be able to build a rocket, given the level of complexity involved. Conversely, I could potentially learn to handle the accounts of a company, provided that I am interested in the skill of accounting. However, if I lack interest in accounting, I would likely struggle to perform even simple tasks, such as frying an egg.
It is a fallacy to assume that one must be interested in order to learn. In fact, people must fail 100% in the early stages of learning, just as babies fail when they first start to learn to walk. It is evident that no baby is born able to run around giggling in front of their parents. They all have to fall over and cry as they learn to walk.
If one is interested in a certain piece of knowledge or skill, even if one faces failure or setbacks, one will become more and more interested. This phenomenon can be observed in the context of video games, where the more one loses, the more interested one becomes. This interest then leads to a focus on how to win and pass the level. Over time, one becomes an expert through a process of trial and error. In contrast, if one is not interested in playing video games, one would likely have stopped playing after losing multiple times and never played again.
Finally, let us examine the reasons behind your reluctance to pursue a new position. Do you perceive your current role as a hindrance, with your colleagues' actions causing you distress and negatively impacting your self-esteem? Do you feel unable to adapt to this social environment?
Thus, the individual's inclination is to seek solace within the confines of their domicile, where they believe they are less vulnerable to harm.
Regardless of the circumstances, life must continue. Furthermore, even if one isolates oneself, one is still susceptible to harm from others. The perpetrator of this harm is, in fact, oneself. One must listen to one's own self-talk, which may include statements such as, "I am becoming increasingly lazy and useless."
The question thus arises as to why one might engage in self-scolding.
In life, parents always admonish their children when they see them stray from the expected norms, with the hope that their children will mature and alter their way of thinking. Similarly, students are reprimanded by their teachers when they exhibit disobedience or receive poor grades, with the expectation that they will study harder and improve their performance. This begs the question: Why do we scold ourselves?
Indeed, one's inner self is aware of the tendency towards laziness, prompting external self-scolding in the hope of fostering greater diligence. The inner self may also perceive a lack of value, yet the underlying motivation is the aspiration to muster the courage to rise, acquire a skill, and become a valuable contributor. When this transformation is achieved and one is able to perform tasks that others cannot, the risk of being labelled as incompetent by friends and colleagues is reduced, thus safeguarding self-esteem.
In reflecting on your own actions, you have been overly critical of yourself, which suggests a lack of confidence in your abilities. However, your self-blame is driven by a deeper desire to take action, to learn, to adapt, and to change. You are unable to discern your true desires, and instead believe that your heart is urging you to retreat and decline. Consequently, your prolonged isolation at home only serves to intensify your sense of loss and distress, as you are in conflict with your genuine aspirations.

I can relate to feeling overwhelmed and lost in a new job. It's tough when you're trying your best but still struggle to keep up. Maybe it's time to take a step back and assess what you really need to succeed, whether it's more training or a different approach.
Feeling like you're not good enough or that you're bothering others can be really hard. But remember, everyone learns at their own pace. Sometimes we need to give ourselves grace and recognize that it's okay to not have everything figured out right away.
It sounds incredibly draining to feel unsupported and misunderstood at work. Have you considered talking to someone who might understand, like a mentor or a counselor? They could offer a fresh perspective and help you find the strength to tackle these challenges.
Isolating yourself might seem like the easiest option when everything feels too heavy, but reaching out for support, even if it's just one person you trust, can make all the difference. You don't have to go through this alone.
It's heartbreaking to hear you're feeling so down on yourself. Remember, your value isn't defined by your job performance. There are many aspects to who you are. Try to focus on the things you do well and celebrate those small victories.
