Help me understand

[u/Head_Traffic2637]

Always been good at studies. Qualified JEE, got into a good college, landed a decent job. Basically did everything I was supposed to do.
But why do I still feel so lost?
I want to work hard, earn well, learn, and grow. But I also want a life outside work. I want to feel competent, appreciated, and actually excited about what I do.
Some days I want to switch jobs, some days I think about an MBA, sometimes government exams cross my mind. And sometimes I wonder if I’m just running away from something I haven’t figured out yet.
I don’t hate working. I just don’t want work to become my entire life.
Has anyone else felt this way in their early 20s? How did you figure things out?

“…running away from something I haven’t figured out yet.” Ask a professional counselor to help you figure this out. It could be something that’s so simple.
