  • Just a couple days ago, thinking about my cat that I had to put down ~6 months ago. He was sick and in pain but I’m still sad about it.

    I don’t think you need to push yourself to cry. Everyone processes their emotions differently. For a long time I also didn’t cry much/at all. I was very guarded about my emotions. Between getting older and my wife, whom I can be completely open with, I have gotten more emotional as I have gotten older.

    If your job/career is not enjoyable to you, you are in the wrong field for you. Life is too short to spend 40+ hours a week doing something you don’t enjoy.

    I’m an industrial electrician, specializing in troubleshooting. I have fun and enjoy my career ~80% of the time. (There is always office politics that are never fun). This is because I enjoy the problem solving process and that is why I got into this career.

    If you aren’t having some kind of fun at work, I suggest you do some self-reflection. What do you really want to do and what will bring you happiness? Life is too short and it is never too late for a career change.
