A woman shared that she is “childlike” and struggling to be professional and mature at work because that is not who she is.
Here is the story:
“I am in my late 20s(F) working in a Foreign bank. I considered myself a childlike and naive person. I tried to be professional and mature at work but I feel that is tough because that’s not me naturally.
I feel that my seniors are experienced at work but somehow I cannot imagine myself like them in a few years’ time when I become a senior myself.
How will my junior next time view or respect me? I am wondering is it because I am not working on something that I am passionate about? I am just a working zombie who works for salary?
I don’t know what my is passion and what should I do with my life? I only know I wish to build a happy family and have kids. I think I am a simple-minded woman and not ambitious in my career.
Recently I also broke up with my long-time boyfriend after finding out that he cheated so I am also feeling very sad. Don’t know what I should do with my life.
Please give me some advice!”
Editor’s note: Nothing wrong with being childlike, just be yourself.
