Is law a good choice of profession for someone with crippling anxiety? We spend out entire lives imagining possible scenarios that might go wrong. Sounds like an ideal mindset for lawyers.
>>32625729Most lawyers never enter a courtroom in their entire lives. They work with paper, in the form of contracts, deeds, wills, divorces, etc. Their work has to be precise - and that might raise anxiety
>>32625729Depends on what kind of anxiety. If it’s social anxiety you’re not gonna enjoy being a lawyer. If it’s any kind of anxiety then yeah, it would keep you on your toes mentally and could help you be a good lawyer. Ideally what you want is hypervigilance + persuasion, Aka - manipulation. So that you can take anything and twist it around to win a case in the defense of a client or in the pursuit of prosecution. Basically become a narcissist and you’ll be a fantastic lawyer.
>>32625729Are you going to engage with any of the replies, OP?
>>32625734That sounds even better. You're relegated to dealing with paperwork over possible points of failure (something you do anyway) without having to deal with social bullshit.
>>32625744Hypervigilance is a given but persuasion is not my strong suit.
