I really lack confidence. I always no I'm go in to make a balls of things in advance of doing them. I get quite anxious when I'm
Asked to do things. For example I have started a new job in a shop. I have worked in lots of shops in my 27 years of life yet for some reason I cannot seem to get the hang of lots of little elements that are daily occurrence. Refunds for example I just can't do it. The 4 times I've tried I've made mistakes. I always lack confidence and I have no idea why. I'm chatty in groups so I don't find meeting people stressful but I can't work out what is wrong with me

Could it be a self-fulfilling prophecy? A vicious cycle? You expect to mess up, this makes you nervous, you mess up, this then becomes "evidence" that you 'always' mess up?

P.s. I highly doubt you do mess up. I suspect you've some self-prejudice or confirmation bias mixed in there!
