Reply #38: i'm 40 and have less emotional facility than i did when i was 22 [View All]

[datasuspect]

i am often unable to cope, make horrendous life decisions, and am beset by a rage to succeed in business.

the raw ambition involved in doing what you love and doing it well and getting paid for it can obscure the confusion enough to become task-oriented.

in other words, i am functionally dysfunctional.

my life is a mess, but i meet my minimal obligations, fulfil my professional role, and manage to stay sane enough to see i am out of control.

but i have to take care of things, regardless.
