I feel like I’m just angry at the world all the time. The more time I spend around people the more I dislike them. Bullying, obsession with material things, competition, insecurity, it’s all so toxic.

I was in the same spot at you OP.

I was angry at everything. And when I wasn’t my anger always laid dormant waiting for eruption. Anything would trigger me.
I made the decision that my life wasn’t on the same path as everyone else’s, and that I needed to focus on the good things I did have. I cut Facebook, and put a time limit on Instagram. I increased yoga and reading. Another thing that really helped me was connecting more with my family. I would not just call more, I would focus more on FaceTiming my family. It’s awkward at first, but it gets easier. Best of luck

Start a gratitude journal. Or get a jar in your home and write down one thing every day on a piece of paper that you enjoyed, that uplifted you or that you are grateful to own, or witness during the day. Could be as simple as the hot shower or the warm sweater or the matching socks and gradually it will be the sunset, the smile from a stranger, a joke from a friend. I don’t have a ratio measurement of how much toxicity exists to positivity but I do know that when you feel one, that’s all you seem to be exposed to. There is a ton of toxicity out there ( not denying that) especially with social media and news coverage. Do nice things for you. Make your home a safe haven. I read the book “good vibes, good life” recently and found it an easy uplifting and instructional read for this situation

As an analyst you are way too young to be feeling that way. Save your skepticism you will need it, it gets much much worse.

I am 7 mon into my job out of Grad school and feeling almost dishearten as you do. Wants to find a more fulfilling path, but yet working in fields (ngo or non-profits) where I can surround myself with people with more positive influence and energy would mean I won't be able to support myself and pay back student loan etc (1st gen in college from immigrant family)

Maybe go talk to your doctor. Could be stress, lack of sleep, host of other things.

I’ve worked the last nine years for my state legislature as an attorney analyst, drafting and analyzing proposed legislation. I’ve primarily worked on health professional regulations. Next year, I will apply for student loans forgiveness under the public service program and would like a change. I know others who have gone into lobbying/government relations, but I would like to find other options to pursue. I’ve never done billable work so not sure if law firm life is for me. Any suggestions?
