My friends were actually really supportive. They know that this can happen to anyone and especially now in times like these, even my friends are scared about losing their jobs. I can tell you that I’m usually a very confident person and I believe in myself but when you aren’t blue to find a job for so long, it really dents your confidence and self belief. This is where support from friends and family is really important.

As for when you meet new people, just tell them you are taking a break/in between jobs. Believe me, I have friends who actually quit well paying jobs (think lawyers) just because they wanted to take a break and think about what they truly want to do so it’s not uncommon.
