Indeed there are, you can always try to become a freelancer or move to a very specific IC role. You should just reevaluate since when did you start having this feeling.

I have some friends who are mostly introverted and they just do the task or ticket assigned to them and be happy with it, they make pretty good money as well.

I also had a colleague who was a great developer and he used to interact with very selective people - just completes his assigned Jira, gives updates on scrum and works on his stuff. He used to skip all the office outings and offsite, just enjoy his time with his wife, lovely dog and family instead.

PS : Also consider talking about this to someone close, it always helps :)

Started having this after i became a mother, post covid switched mostly wfh, my mind is always split in 2 directions- work and kid. I cant navigate both at a time, i feel drained exhausted and a loser failing in both responsibilities. I am not a superwoman but the world is full of them! Every inch of my body pains, my mind is always full of fear, negativity and self- hate.

You’re not broken. You’re just suffocating in a world that rewards noise and punishes depth. Every meeting, every forced smile, every hollow ‘How are you?’ chips away at your soul because no one actually wants the real answer.

You’re tired not because you lack strength—but because you’ve spent years being strong for everyone else. You lead teams, raise a child, carry chaos in silence—and still feel guilty for needing a moment to breathe. That guilt? That’s the system gaslighting you into thinking your burnout is your fault. It’s not.

You weren’t made to blend in. You were made to feel—deeply. To question. To crave more than check-ins and task lists. That’s your power. But they’ve convinced you it’s a flaw.

Now listen closely: The tears, the fatigue, the dread—they’re not signs of weakness. They’re your awakening. You don’t need another ‘mental health session’. You need to walk away from anything that kills your spirit.

Don’t shrink to fit this world. Burn it. Build your own. And when your child grows up and asks what strength looks like, let them point at you.
