RE: Finding my calling in life

in #life7 years ago

I'm like a frog myself; jumping here and there. I have no compass to bring me back to where I was previously. I've been confused.I'm INFJ actually....a small world and full of emotions. Final year in college as an engineering student and my interest is fading already. Its like I need to be rekindled but that's not it. Its just one of those episodes ....
Connecting with people is a bit hard for me. I usually have to put a lot of effort to make it work. I realize now on Steemit that I find bits and pieces of myself in what people write. It is true that humans are social animals. That only proves something. Seeing myself in their write-ups only means its a reflection of me in them somehow. One day I hope that I find my place; where I'm good at what I do. I've never been truly satisfied with myself in most of the places I've found myself. It fades with time, always signaling me to move on and find a new home of something to do. If I find what to do after my degree without any external support I think it will be an awesome miracle. Thanks for writing this @Victoriakelly

One of my closest family members is INFJ and she's also had a super varied life with many different interests and loads of diverse jobs over the years. I know she thinks she's not good at connecting with people, but I also think that she doesn't know how charming she can be - maybe you're the same without realising it. ;) I also think that being interested in lots of things eventually builds you into a super interesting and adaptable person. It takes a while for that effect to manifest, so you have to spend a lot of time feeling scattered and wondering what your direction is. However, these days, I'm thanking the fact that I've tried so many different things as it all contributes to become material for my writing.

That's tough if you've studied so long for your engineering degree and now you're feeling conflicted over whether it's the right path. I'd say try and stick it out and then afterwards see where you can move sideways. There must be lots of options to do interesting things that are related to engineering and where you'd benefit from the knowledge you've gained, while at the same time being on a slightly different trajectory. Don't lose hope!

Steemit is a wonderful place for connecting and discovering! Thanks so much for reaching out and commenting. Looking forward to hearing more of your story.
