[blogland] trying to get out of this low state
SUSHI:
Your dignity and allowance aren't going to pay for a new guitar and tons of fancy effects pedals. You have to grow a spine and be a little dishonest in your interview. You're out of your mind if you think that telling an interviewer that you have difficulty accurately taking directions is going to convey a good work ethic and ability to get things done.

Every time somebody gives you valid advice you either ignore it or shoot it down with some lousy defeatist attitude stuff. Sorry but nobody is interested in validating your victim mentality.
Just go tell your doctor that you're physically incapable of not intentionally sabotaging your own job interviews, get your autism certificate or whatever, and cash in on NEET bucks, because until you can actually start listening to what people here are telling you, it's literally your only option.

lying will forget you always in the future. every single white lie i've told ended up screwing me later; of course i'm going to shoot down people who ask me TO LIE.

Padding your interview isn't lying, you're literally supposed to make yourself look good to get hired, otherwise nobody in their right mind will hire the guy who was needlessly brutally honest about the fact that he has no skills.
Besides, you're doing entry-level work. Who cares about whether or not you're the perfect specimen for stacking boxes? You gotta play along with the interviews, even if it doesn't seem genuine.

i have a ton of skills, but not related to anything salary-wise. i'm just saying, if you tell them you're a model worker and you and get stuff done, they'll expect wayyyy more out of you than other employees. you could do it your best and they'd say it's bad.

So you continue to be skeptical of the advice you asked for and continue to tank interviews...
Good luck, that's all I can say.
