🌌 Feeling the Weight of Success: A Shared Sentiment πŸ€πŸ’¬

One might think certain individuals are immune to feelings of depression or powerlessness. However, even those skilled at bouncing back from failure have their limits.

In our fast-paced world, balancing success with personal and societal expectations can be challenging. The constant juggling between work, parental duties, and societal pressures can leave us breathless. In those moments, self-doubt may creep in, questioning whether we're truly "good enough."

This struggle is not only personal but extends to the lessons we pass on to our children. While we were once told we could become anything, the prevailing narrative now suggests we're never enough, leaving us feeling restless and unsettled.

The tech industry, often residing in the top percentiles, adds an additional layer to this experience. Because achieving success, there's often a reluctance to express the challenges faced.

The journey to the summit can indeed be lonely, with some pulling down instead of lifting up. others are gatekeepers. In the past we were not qualified enough, now we are achievers who occupy space meant for newcomers.

Sometimes, posts like these may seem like mere vents, but within them lies a shared sentiment – a reminder that it's okay not to feel okay, even at the peak. To everyone grappling with the solitude of success, take care and know that you're not alone in this climb. πŸŒŸπŸ’™ hashtag#SuccessStruggles hashtag#YouAreNotAlone
