I have always wanted to be one of those people who was either very good at something over the course of my life or very interested in the right combo of skills/ideas that would lead me to a lucrative career 🙃

But no. I have worked a string of jobs and honestly over the past 6 or so years, I have only had one job for longer than a year. I have quit most of my jobs within 6 months. And over the course of my life, I have only had one or two jobs that also lasted longer than a year.

I am not a good employee. I dont actually like working but dont have the benefit of having the correct skillset to offset what is clearly some sort of character defect.

I love this series!

Love the comment and what I hope was self-deprecating humor! 😅

I think you echo what a lot of people feel... work is not a naturally blissful activity, and while others give off vibes that somehow it is for them, it hasn't happened for you in the same way.

Someone in this situation might react: "something must be wrong with me!" When, I think there's a bigger picture issue that's really what's wrong here.

(and/or these other people simply won the lottery and we should say "congrats" and move on with life)
