Is it normal to feel ashamed of your career?

[jennifer_bloom]

I am a writer and I work around 10-80 hours a week and I’ve been avoiding everyone for 4 years because I’m embarrassed I’m not a surgeon or a corporate CEO or a banker.

I used to lie and say I wasn't military. It was just shameful even though when it would come out, I'd get that verbal ejaculation that I'd just rather not hear. You know, the thank you for your service bullshit. Not sure what I'm trying to say... I just think it's normal to avoid people and not say what you've done to get by.

I mean seriously... we've all seen those braggart assholes that can't stop talking about what all they've done and how great they are. Only suckers fall for their shit. Just consider yourself one of the few that don't suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect.

I'm highly enthusiastic about my job, and I found the formula to be very simple.

Just doing things better than usual, while thinking about the smallest possible improvement.

Sometimes if we think other people think its silly or stupid. Lile I still get comments when i say i feel comfortable with being a youtuber/streamer.

My career is not glamorous but I make good money with great benefits. Don’t care what people think especially when I make more than they do
