I HATE volunteering. Like I hate it more than anything.
Any tips on getting myself to like volunteering? I thought about the reasons why I hate volunteering.
Volunteering at the hospital sucked because I got to have no interaction with the patients and was limited to stupid things like restocking gloves, wiping down stretchers and stuff. The hospice was pretty boring too. I'd get to talk to patients but after 30 minutes at best I'd run out of things to talk about and it's just plain awkward.
Volunteering has been a great demotivator in everything else too. Thinking about volunteering -> Kills my motivation -> Ruins my day.
What should I do... Do I even need to volunteer anymore? I still want to be a doctor because I like everything else I've done to "know" more about medicine, but all the experiences with volunteering (not necessarily other aspects of medicine) have been so negative that I can't stand it anymore. Also what should I tell the interviewers about volunteering? I don't want to lie but I don't think telling them the truth will go by very well...
