I've discovered that despite being an introvert, I feel fulfilled when i'm helping others. The issue is, even when I'm doing that, I still get bored sometimes. I'm learning that this is normal and ok to be bored sometimes. It's hard to imagine because we think we have to always be engaged, but that's the start of the road to burnout

[TomSLAMG]

I used to receive an amazing high from solving problems at work then about 8 years ago I noticed that the joy was replaced with doubt and worry during the process. Now at 52 I’m trying to find my muse and reinvent myself.

Nothing but positive thoughts!!

[Direct_Inspo]

I tend to be more introverted and need my time to be alone with myself and collect and process my thoughts. But also I find fulfillment in being around others and helping others especially in a job. It’s the weirdest and strangest combination feeling like your introverted but also feel fulfilled interacting and helping others. It’s the main cause of my burnout as I seek jobs where there’s a lot of people interaction but end up burning out from my introversion and end up hating interacting with others until the burnout stops. I also can’t see myself in a job where I’m just working by myself because I’m missing that fulfillment from that people interaction. There’s a specific balance that I’ve been trying so hard to find in a job.

I aspired to be a singer and did it for 11 years. 6-figure income, national television, and much more, and I gave it all up. Performing was the high, but I need to find my own validation. I noticed the majority of things I gravitate to are things that validate my worthiness. This leaves me wanting to learn to validate myself and see what I love when someone or some analytic results are not telling me I'm good enough.

I'm constantly being told people would hate to be in my head, and that they wouldn't know where to start.

I love your videos, thank you.

I started a YouTube channel because I wanted to document my travels and share. I listened to all these YTer's saying start before you are ready just start. I quickly became overwhelmed with things I had to learn. Video making, content creation, video editing, photography, cameras, lighting, videography, story telling, and it was the WRONG niche for me. I never fit in, the people I met were nice but I couldn't seem to form any friendships.
Being an intravert with learning disabilities/difficulties and all the D's, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, really sucks. My journey through life was hell. I needed this channel 50 years ago.

I have been working with my therapist on this same subject. This is definitely one we have to work with, I too, have done many jobs yet my creativity is itching more and more. It’s not about money but it is a lot money. We are stuck in the generation right now, we want more freedom and less control from our sometime not good employer’s (because we’re constantly work hard at) and get under unappreciated, invaluable. It’s not just the outsider, but knowing what makes us content in some way, hopefully will give me less depression and more opportunities. Sorry to go on. I go in circle trying to explain my point. But if you’d made this far. Keep going. I’m 38yrs and working on my Art career. You can do anything you set your mind to.

[jordanwanberg]

I found it by asking why a crap tone of times and stopping telling myself lies. Add play and a little novelty. And try to be really good at what I was doing. There is a huge amount of depth in every job. Novelty can be found in the details and depth of even sweeping a floor that will be dirty again in 15 minutes.

I've been watching and listening to your videos the last few weeks and everything you discuss on this channel is me. I'm 51 years old and you have given me new perspective on why I do what a do. For so many years I thought it was only me doing these things or feeling this way. Like I said I'm 51, married 26 years, and we have 4 adult children. Now that the kids are doing there thing, I need to find my thing. Mind you I think I've created or started 20 plus businesses and have 100s of ideas in my lifetime, so you can call me a serial quitter. Since listening to your channel, I've found a little bit of peace and understanding knowing that I have hope in figuring out what to do next with my second half of life. Thank you again and keep doing what you're doing!

I quit my corporate job at 42 amd retrained to be an actor. 9 years on, I'm still working survival jobs for ridiculously low pay and I hate it. I've even trained as a Career coach but can't even get people to coach for FREE to get some practice in. I'm SO tired of not knowing what I should be doing while striving for my acting break.

[Heyuher]

Uhhh. Finish & get a degree/ credential. Also demonstrates the capacity for tenacity & persistence. And get money to at least pay down loans. Those loans will still be there regardless of degree attainment, which sucks

[yyxx]

Just clicked this video because i start suffering after 1, 5 years in a job. I really hate it... I loved my studies... But the practical work is horrible. Social worker... The jobs are really challenging emotionally, psychology and also requests a lot of self managing... I really get depressed every other month. Still i do not dare to change... Since i failed twice leaving this career behind. I really hope this video gives me some inspiration..

Ever since I left the job I was at for 15 years, I have struggled with job hopping. I've even emailed my resignation and then not come back in. It's a terrible feeling, but i had to do it. I like the job i have now, but it pays terribly. I need more money, so I'm keeping a look out for yet another job. I don't know what to do with myself. 😢

[samabhinnn]

thank u for giving me clarity on what i should actually be doing

[alittlepieceofearth]

I can see where this applies to a lot of people. For myself, I think anxiety and sustainability are the main drivers for my job hopping.

[SebyVarghese-vy]

For people who have a lot of difficulty adjusting and trying to look for better job options, I think temperament is the key.

Because work involves, a lot of collaboration, one of the important things to consider along with your skill set, money is knowing your temperament with respect to work interactions and collision of working styles between different people, not just which are typical possible interaction/conflict/stress points people consider.

How well you can gel with fellow team members and get the work done, combine that with temperament, working style of yours with respect to possible other temperaments, working styles that tend to exist more in a field/job and consider the nature of teams/departments you will be interacting/working with.

This could help narrow down possible job opportunities where you could stick for a longer time.

Entrepreneurship/ self-direction can be worse. Out thriving happens in structured flexibility, not in supposed absolute freedom. She could become an nurse consultant who works set hours/ set time periods. But yeah it's important to have structures -- we're like tomato plants or vines that need a trells to support our growth!

[jenniferhizzy]

I have had a portfolio career all my life while working one main full time job, Been doing a lot of things on the side especially when I get bored and need extra money.

[SighOfContentment]

I really enjoyed taking the values assessment test. Thanks for sharing!

[mariyavesna]

I am UI UX Designer, I found out that I have adhd few months ago, and also I started to do photography, I fell in love with photography so much that I don't want to do anything else anymore. But also I am a refugee in New country where I don't have so many connections as in mine. I felt really stressed with the feeling that I don't want to do design anymore, but I still do, I think I can be good at design, but I always wanted to do something more artistic, where I can decide. Honestly it makes me feel sad because I am afraid to end up under the breege at some point 😂 I really don't know what to do. Try to motivate myself to work by looking at my empty bank account. At least I understand what is happening to me right now

I wonder if the nurse is also going some hormonal upheaval. I got an ADHD diagnosis at 46 years old. I was then and am still in peri-menopause. It’s so hard and I can’t seem to do anything.
