Dear greenshade:

Focus on your participation in every interaction. What happened, according to my understanding, is that your interactions with co-workers on the project were satisfying and exciting for you for a while. Those interactions became the concrete ground you stood on.

Following financial distress, those interactions deteriorated and the concrete ground you were standing on was taken away, and so you feel like you are “floating in mid-air without a lot of concrete things to rely on.”

Since you cannot control other people’s actions, other people’s participation in the interactions with you, and you can only control your participation in interactions with others-

focus just on what you can control. Let what you can control be the “concrete things to rely on”- the ground under your feet.
