Hey all, this is a serious career question and I am genuinely trying to understand other people's perspective here to allow me to grow personally.I can say that I have had what I would assume to be a biography some on here might share: Singled out in school as the nerd kid and bullied for some years, not many but rather close friends in school, university. For the past three years prior to the pandemic, I've been freelance coding solo.I have gotten to a point in my life where I realise I have somehow become a misanthrope and my perspective of being overly critical of others (customers/ stakeholders understanding the tech in my domain, the lack of innovation and ambition in my EU home country, down to colleagues and my girlfriend) is seriously limiting my development. In the light of how other people are changing the world through software each day, I feel like I am surrounded by people limiting and blocking me. I am quite aware that this view is hurting me, but I honestly do not have a strategy on what steps to take to get me out of this set of beliefs. I am aware that generally successful people are good at working with, not against others.Any tips on how to change one's mind to be interested in engaging with people with a outcome oriented perspective would be genuinely appreciated.Thanks for reading!
