Burnout, Loneliness, and Why High-Earning Tech Pros Fail at Life Management

It seems like everything is fine: money is there, work is there. Something missing? I often hear about burnout in this crowd. The reason, as banal as it sounds, is that these people have nothing in their lives except work. The brain stops seeing the point in the process because life doesn't change based on the effort you put in. You're sitting and coding just like you were a year ago. Nothing to remember, no relationships, health is falling apart. The main problem with IT specialists is their ego. They transfer their competence from one narrow field to all of life and can't admit to themselves that they don't know something. As a former martial arts coach, I'll say it straight: you won't learn anything new until you admit your own incompetence in the matter. Instead of saving your ego, it's worth making an adult decision and trying to develop your lagging areas. Fortunately, you have the financial means to do so. If anyone is interested in trying to change their life and develop "soft" areas—I can offer a consultation. I'm not another Instagram "life coach," I'm a tech guy from the world of sports and rehabilitation. I speak in terms you understand and explain contextual things in plain language. You've already tried to solve your problems with the background you have—maybe it's worth turning to someone with a different kind of experience to learn from it?
