Sounds like you're having trouble with honest empathy or understanding what other people might be thinking or feeling. This kind of feeling is EXTREMELY common

Sounds like you're having trouble with honest empathy or understanding what other people might be thinking or feeling.
This kind of feeling is EXTREMELY common, especially with engineers. You sound like you're over-indexing on logic and not really trying to understand how other people might think and feel. You might not get this now, but working on these other skills will make a bigger impact on your life and career than being a better programmer.
- Pamar 8y agoPlot twist: I am 55 - worked most of the time as a consultant, so for me "having to learn something new" and especially "while everyone else around you either knew more than you or were looking at you expecting you to know all the answers" was more or less a constant. Maybe this is why I do not understand what the problem is, exactly?
- Grustaf 8y agoI can’t understand this either. Of course you know very little about something when you are just starting out, that is expected, where is the shame in that? Hopefully you’ll learn it eventually, and if not, well then it wasn’t for you. We can’t all be good at everything. /another (ex-) consultant.
