The hardest part of my job isn’t the workload — it’s the performance. Smiling through stress, acting grateful, hiding frustration. How do people cope with the constant emotional masking? I’m truly exhausted from constantly masking! Is it like this everywhere?

We all have times where we feel stressed, overwhelmed and or just not ourselves. I try to look at work with the approach of staying professional and trying to focus on the job at hand and what I can control. I don't think remaining professional is a mask but just the way to be when we are performing our duties. You don't let the emotions interfere with the job.

Being neurodivergent I have to act “normal” to fit in and act professional. It’s hard enough trying to figure out expectations when people want you to infer that information. I’m just tired all the time it really takes a toll that people don’t understand

I was exhausted so much at my previous job about this same thing! Always masking how I really felt
