Let us know your personality/behaviour first.

It cant be only quiet as you have mentioned that you were labelled as weirdo.

I also like you but SPM kids only. Middle age. People might think i am weirdo because i think and speak like ruler and bad at social skill so can be perceive as quite. Since i have no degree so have to go construction route. Salary kinda good tho at 3000++ include allowances after deduction. I personally prefer It tech or technical job but because i have more construction experiences so boss kinda make me to deal with site customer although my title is supervisor only. Stress AFK.

I think the best job for you that require no interaction. Maybe software engineer. Need to find whats wrong, run a debugging software. Need solution, just have virtual chat at stack overflow forum

you may try to sign up therapy/consultation sessions with counsellor to help you

apply for SPA to get government job. either be a teacher/lecturer/ PTD or be government engineer gred J41.

it will help build your confidence and social skill better

have a degree in engineering, been working a few years, i lost count of how many jobs i changed, primary reason is social skill issue, consider me autistic.

My working experience -

Contractors: worked for a few contractors, i get famous as a weirdo in each one of them, i resigned from them within a few months

Consultant: worked for 2 consultants. got fired from 1, the boss said my people don't want to work with me. resigned from 1 because people say boss no assign job to me cuz i look like idiot.

Facility manager at mall: People complain i too quiet during lunch, i resigned

Tech: a career switch, getting paid 2k internship salary, promised a salary higher than i have ever drawn after 1 year. The workforce is very young and i am the among oldest, the job has a lot freedom, people don't have the typical corporate behavior here and people rarely care about others. My personality seems to be acceptable here because no one cares about each other. The company receives grants/projects, assign to each of us, we do our own researches on how to do and do our own thing

I have no tech background, not sure how sustainable is this employment and not sure how serious is the promise and i actually kind of like consultant job so I applied for draftsman at consultant thinking my autism won't hinder much but the boss gave me engineer position

So should i continue the tech internship or go for the consultant job? again? I only like my tech job because of the freedom

engineer at consultant has risks cuz the interviewer emphasized meetings etc. I haven't been completely honest about my personality and history. I think my behavior is acceptable to the tech company, i don't think traditional workplace can accept

or other career strategies? currently late 20s

I’m taking anti-depressants, did not solve the problem

what kind of work do you do as an engineering consultant?

drug alone will not solve most of the mental health issue,

you may need to go for CBT, mindfulness classes like meditation, self affirmation classes, inner child classes and so on

Engineer

that is hugely revealing

I've been there, maybe not bad as you

you need to let out your repressed emotions

i bet you have a lot of anger and frustrations, consider going to the gym

i became a new person after i regular gym

and don't worry about what other people think, they don't, its not in their best interest to think about you

apply for SPA to get government job. either be a teacher/lecturer/ PTD or be government engineer gred J41.

it will help build your confidence and social skill better

Stay in tech. As long as you don't move up the ladder too much, you can work on your own and solve problems without much human interaction. Once you start moving up, you'll require more human interaction and people skills.
