I have struggled that way too. I don’t have any diagnosis, but it wouldn’t be surprising if I were neurodiverse, and I similarly hate the ambiguity and weird social games that are at play in the corporate setting. Not that social games aren’t happening among wage workers and so on, but there isn’t the same feeling of competition among workers and the culture feels more open and honest, which makes it easier like you say to get honest direction and feedback.

Totally agree there’s so many ridiculous power plays and people working against each other. It’s a nightmare
