idk if this is the right subreddit to be posting in but i thought maybe some people here might relate

does anyone feel like they might never find a career path they love or are satisfied with? the best way i can describe it is the fig tree analogy form sylvia plath’s the bell jar (if you don’t know it then look it up, it encapsulates the feeling of hopelessness when having to make a choice really well).

i know for some people careers are just a means to survival but for others, like me, it means so much more to that. i want to make an impact on the world, i want to be passionate about my job, i want to explore my field. but i like too many things, but at the same time don’t feel passionate over any of them to commit to one. i feel like even if i decide on a career i like, i will never be satisfied because my mind will always think of other possibilities and other things i could enjoy doing. i feel like my heart will always be pulled in a million directions. i feel like i’m never going to find my purpose in life and i’ll always be regretting something or wanting more. i don’t know myself enough to know what i want at all.

has anyone felt this? if so, did you overcome it and how? how did you. choose a career that you’re passionate about?
