When you are outspoken and have a strong idiosyncratic personality like I do it’s inevitably going to strike a chord with some people in a bad way lol… and let me tell you it does…
40-60 year old people get laid off daily after 15+ years in an industry and have to restart. You’re too young to even know life’s all about restarting and it’s all relative. Fall in love with the process of learning and it’ll never be scary. You might even end up loving what you pivot too. You’ll be fine.
