🥺💻 First Senior. Pressure because I feel the need to prove myself.

🌟've heard people say that the hardest part is the transition from junior to senior.

🔥, when I met myself today, I felt that it was very real, both adapting to a new place, carrying hope (as I thought) until the mental breakdown went many times per yard (both recently entered for a week, huh).

I don't know how to control myself, as if I knew that "we may not be able to take it" became a life down, blaming myself, not feeling good enough many times, working too much time, the longer the wfh shot reaches midnight because of fear of not doing well enough.

Who has been through it? Can share how it has been. 🥺

... Read moreช่วงเริ่มงานที่ใหม่ในตำแหน่ง Senior นั้นมักจะมาพร้อมกับความกดดันอย่างหนัก เพราะเรามักรู้สึกว่าต้องพิสูจน์ตัวเองให้ได้มากกว่าที่เคยเป็นมา ในความเป็นจริงแล้วความรู้สึกนี้เป็นเรื่องปกติที่คนจำนวนมากต้องเผชิญ หนึ่งในปัจจัยหลักที่สร้างความกดดันคือ ภาระความคาดหวังจากทั้งตัวเองและคนรอบข้าง บางครั้งเราตั้งมาตรฐานความสำเร็จสูงจนกดดันตัวเองมากเกินไป จนอาจทำให้เกิดภาวะ mental breakdown ได้ง่าย โดยเฉพาะเมื่อยังไม่ได้คุ้นชินกับสิ่งแวดล้อมใหม่ หรือรูปแบบการทำงานที่แตกต่างเช่น work from home ซึ่งอาจทำให้เสียสมดุลระหว่างงานกับชีวิตส่วนตัว เพื่อจัดการกับความรู้สึกเหล่านี้ ควรเริ่มจากการตั้งเป้าหมายที่ชัดเจนและเหมาะสมกับสถานการณ์ในตำแหน่ง Senior แทนที่จะพยายามทำทุกอย่างให้สมบูรณ์แบบในครั้งแรก การแบ่งงานเป็นขั้นตอนเล็ก ๆ และการขอคำปรึกษาจากเพื่อนร่วมงานหรือหัวหน้างานสามารถช่วยลดความรู้สึกกดดันได้อย่างมาก นอกจากนี้การดูแลสุขภาพจิตผ่านกิจกรรมผ่อนคลาย เช่น การออกกำลังกาย หรือการพูดคุยแชร์ประสบการณ์กับคนที่เข้าใจ ก็เป็นวิธีช่วยจัดการกับความรู้สึกท้อแท้ได้ดี อย่าลืมว่าการเป็น Senior ไม่ได้หมายความว่าต้องรู้ทุกอย่างตั้งแต่เริ่มต้น ทุกคนต่างมีช่วงเวลาปรับตัวและเรียนรู้ หากรู้สึกว่ากดดันจนเกินไป ควรให้เวลากับตัวเอง และค่อย ๆ พิสูจน์ความสามารถด้วยผลงานที่แท้จริงโดยไม่ต้องเร่งรีบ สุดท้าย การแบ่งปันความรู้สึกและประสบการณ์ เช่นที่ได้รับฟังว่าผ่านช่วงเวลายากนี้มาได้อย่างไรจากเพื่อนร่วมงานหรือชุมชนออนไลน์ จะช่วยให้รู้ว่าเราไม่ได้เผชิญสิ่งนี้เพียงลำพัง และสามารถสร้างเครือข่ายสนับสนุนที่เข้มแข็งในการเติบโตในบทบาท Senior ได้อย่างมั่นใจมากขึ้น
