Yeah I read it the same way too. That being said, this woman probably needs a therapist more than LinkedIn, but I guess that’s why this community is called LinkedInLunatics
Yes, but it reads more to the tone of “my greatest weakness is I am too successful”, like it’s more about bragging about herself than it is actually being introspective.
She’s sharing something she struggles with because she believes other women may struggle with it as well and knowing you’re not alone is help in and of itself. It isn’t even something that personal. The only lunacy I see here is all the comments that insist sharing your feelings is lunacy.
LinkedIn is not a venue for discussion though. Only people born into extreme wealth have the privilege of saying anything other than “I love corporations 😍” on their LinkedIn profile.
It’s not meant to be a discussion. She’s just looking for peers that may feel the way she does because sometimes a “me too” is enough. I have no idea what the rest of your comment is trying to say.
Nah, I mean, sharing this on LinkedIn is basically a “humble brag”, LinkedIn is all about marketing yourself as a professional brand. If she needed an outlet she’d discuss this with a friend, a coworker, or even an actual social media platform. It’s basically like “I can’t stop crushing goals, my husband is content just existing, is there something wrong with me? Why am I such a beast? Why is he content being lame? Anyone else feel this or am I in a minority of overachievers?”
Not even bringing up the fact that this is very publicly scrutinizing her husband, or at the least, airing out her laundry. I’d be furious if someone shared a private, intimate conversation just to make a point for social media validation. But then again, I’m a pretty private person.
I think if she was actually crushing her goals, she’d do so in silence. That’s what most overachievers actually do.
That doesn’t read as much as blasting her husband as it does as blasting herself.

I didn’t pick this for its grounded view on reality.

Reread the post, this person^ is right
The lunacy part is posting this to LinkedIn rather than discussing in private with a therapist.

Nope. It’s doesn’t seem like that at all. Sounds like you’re unable to see other people’s perspectives, though.
