Overthinking is my ultimate talent. Currently I’m overthinking and paranoid about pursuing a career in UX. What if I fail? What if I don’t get a job? What if the boot camp isn’t for me?? 😭

[arisagebenjamin]

It's like watching a spirit twin! Thank you for this. I'm so scared of UX because I overthink EVERYTHING. No one around me understands that the struggle really is real in that way. I was afraid of being intimidated to have to communicate so much with other people because I'm so introverted and hate conflict. You give me hope in my potential future in this field. Thank

This nailed everything about me! I have been looking for a career that fits me. Plus I want to work in tech too. You helped me find what might actually be really good for me. Thank you.

Can relate to this so much. Really helpful video while trying to switch my career into this field after so much ambiguity and searching. Thank you!

Hi Mimi! I am currently discerning if I should transition from home improvement retail sales (flooring currently) to UX Design. I've only done preliminary research so far, but the field intrigues me. Some of it reminds me of when I was creating cabinet layouts on CAD for kitchens at Lowe's. It was something different every time. Different room layouts, different needs, different budgets, different design styles, and being able to make something tangible that a client can see and will have a positive impact. I miss doing something like that without worrying about trying to close a sale. That's part of why I want to leave sales; the thrill of closing the deal just isn't there anymore. I'm still going through your videos, but I'd appreciate any additional insight you can provide is most welcome.

Mimi, you've got some great videos, this one included. Your pug doggy though, is the star of the show. Woof, woof!!

Hi queen! Thanks for the video! I’m a new subscriber and new to the UX industry. I’m a fellow psychology major and over thinker! Would love to connect with yah 🤗

I guess those who love psychology are similar: introvert, love learning about people, overthinking, and kind of lazy :)) Thank you, your video is really helpful to me.

[mckamy]

This video is super helpful. I've been deciding between psychology and design now for a while but ux design seems to be the best of both worlds where I can help people and use my empathy but do it in a creative way, I also overthink everything 😂😅

[emilyz]

i came from your '5 things i hate about being a UX designer' video and was doubting transitioning into this role because of the debate & meetings part, but after watching this video, i thought the pros def outweighed the cons (i love psych and being empathetic too, don't enjoy overthinking too much but it comes naturally so.. it's cool to know we can get paid to overthink HAHA) ty for the video!

[NolanB]

Just had my interview for a boot camp in UI UX design. The overthinking skill makes me happy to have now hahaha

[Jaguarblack_lofi]

I'm studying it myself. It's interesting you say that overthinking is an asset. My current director of design told me not to think too much.

[MissNash]

Curious question - what made u pursue a uiux career instead of following a psychologist/counsellor path? asking cause both careers path are really interesting to me which makes it hard to choose

[Blairezz]

Whats the average daily screen time for UX Designers?

[gareth]

I'm so glad I quit UX after 10 years. Life is too short

[joshuakwak]

This video was too spot-on for me, from the point about overthinking to the random note about doing track and XC because of the pressure of being on a team. Felt like I was being called out! I watched many helpful videos, but this one connected with me the most personality wise, and now I feel a lot more comfortable pursuing this career!

[uyendoan]

Ahhhh In the process of making my first ever UX portfolio and got really discouraged and this video affirms to me that UX is the job that I truly care about and want to be really good at. It feels so good thinking UX could be my career pursuit. Thank you for sharing MiMi :)
