Why am I not happy in my new job?
I just got a new job. It’s a good job and I feel ungrateful not being happy about it. I know there are so many who would love to be in my position right now but I’m still not happy.
its in an area I don’t really know and I just feel alone and like I’m getting further and further away from my career goals of wanting to work in the publishing industry. What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I just appreciate the job I have? It’s an office job and I have my own apartment. What is wrong with me!? How do I learn appreciation, how do I learn to be happy about this? Just because it’s not exactly the job I want or even in the field I want, I’m not happy about.
huh I need to fix myself and I have no idea how. I just want to be happy.

I get it ... we may have a good job being paid and benefits but it is not fulfilling.
I would not follow idea of happy as in my experience happy is like a mirage and the closer you think you are you see it was not there. I think we need to build our happy in other things in our lives and be satisfied our job is where we get funds to enjoy the other parts of our lives. Sometimes creating a goal makes us feel more motivated to work in a decent job regardless if it is not our ideal one.
I try to take success out of a few tasks or satisfied outcomes in co-workers or in my case customers... that helps the days when things do not go well of i have to deal with others.
