Comment on How do I stop having expectations at the workplace?
vestmoria@linux.community 1 week agothe current job shows me my own limitations, which are more with my colleagues than with the job itself.
but ain’t this not one of your limitations, but theirs? This sentence makes it look like your coworkers slow you down.
could you write what your limitations with your coworkers look like? This is to me a very abstract concept.

That’s not what I meant.
First of all I consider myself a self-reflecting being (a good thing) and sometimes a little too self-critical (not so good).
I think I’m fairly good at my job per se but it’s that meta aspect of dealing with colleagues and (lack of) structure I’m not so good at. Maybe I’m socially awkward, maybe I lack diplomacy, maybe I’m too opinionated. I’m trying to improve there: stop overreacting, think of more constructive ways to communicate etc. Not that I want to stop being opinionated though.
Also I’m not really career-oriented, there’s no “slowing me down”.
