View submission: Elite hangover
I wouldn't say I have that exact experience in terms of socioeconomic circles, but I kind of know what you're talking about. Last week I was host to a variety of executives across my company and so I was tagging along to a ton of high profile events, that felt a bit like when I worked at some high profile startups courting VCs in the darling tech industry days. I've come back to reality this week and realizing how much I just appreciate a quiet life and slowdown, and how scary it was to feel sucked back into the crazy workaholic culture I got carried away with pre-COVID.
I think of these things as "reality distortion field benders" and they really make it hard for you to determine what your core principles are.
There's nothing here!
