Suppose you have an easily-bothered and easily-annoyed friend. She is looking for a job. Your uncle has a big company and is lookin for a secretary. You suggest your friend to apply for that job in your uncle's company. But she replies:
" Oh, no way! I don't like it! You know that I can't mentally bear that job, I can't deal with lots of people".
I'm looking for an idiom / phrase/ expression that can convey this " I cannot mentally bear/tolerate/ deal with something"
I have found " to have the patience of Job" but I don't think it would be what I'm looking for exactly.
(I want to use something that refere to be mentally intolerable for someone. )

The term introvert would be the way I would describe it. It's not exactly an idiom, but it refers to a person who is uncomfortable in large groups and does not tend to be very outgoing, keeping only to a few friends. It doesn't fit exactly but its one of the more common phrases to describe it. "Oh, no way! I'm an introvert/ I'm introverted."

Thanks, heythereitslexi.:)
Let me give you another example:
A person who cannot bear seeing blood, cannot become a nurse or a doctor. ( they are not mentally (?) elligible (?) for those jobs. )

I would say, in that case, they are not right for the job, or can't handle the job. These sound the most natural :)
