I really feel you on this. I've been working the same job for far too long and I feel they are taking advantage of me at this point. >_>i don't love my job anymore, but i'm scared to get a new job... to have to go through the whole interviewing/hiring process, and then to have to be with new coworkers and learn a whole new thing. but at the same time i really want to. its just scary :/
Don't try approaching them, let them approach you. i.g.Semester starting tonight (evening class) and I absolutely suck at approaching people and make friends :^^^^) wish me luck.
