Every workplace tells you to 'seek feedback' and 'feedback is a gift.' But here's what nobody admits: the more feedback you collect, the less you know what to do. You're not learning—you're drowning in contradictions.
You're not lazy. You're not undisciplined. You're trapped in a system that profits from your perpetual inadequacy. Every productivity tool, every self-help book, every optimization technique shares one hidden assumption: you're not doing enough.
You hold strong opinions you can't defend. Not because you're wrong—but because you've forgotten why you're right. The intensity of belief survives while the reasoning that produced it dissolves.
