Thanks so much for this post! ❤️

I actually did get good at it and even experienced the same via masking. Unfortunately, masking and perfectionism are not sustainable over a whole career and what sucks is that the teaching field tries to (in my experience) keep people within the education discipline via guilt and a lack of training outside of the classroom.

Anyway, I don't totally regret my career but it's time to move on. Thanks for the good wishes and response, friend.
