A positive work environment and a sense of purpose are especially crucial for a highly sensitive person. It’s important to think about the type of situation that you’d like most to be in. People gravitate towards different occupations without giving it much thought about whether their personalities and interests are a good fit.

If you’re currently in a work situation that’s too stressful or not meaningful to you, perhaps you need to make a change. You don’t have to quit your job, but what is preventing you from seeking other options, including starting your own business on a part-time basis?

Maybe take night courses on topics that you’re interested in. Perhaps you might meet someone in these classes in your field of interest that could help you. Information in books and on the internet will help you explore different options. You don’t have to be stuck in a dead-end situation forever. Remember that this is temporary and you’re still finding out about your likes and dislikes.

Why settle for something that doesn’t serve your needs financially or otherwise? Why not look into other options? I’m interested in any thoughts or comments that you have.
