厌职
Should I quit my job if I hate it?
Hating it is real. But 'I hate it' and 'I should leave' are not the same sentence. Give it one honest read before you rewrite the resume at 2 a.m.

What this question usually is
- It is rarely the job itself. It is the version of you the job requires.
- Most people ask this when they are already tired — which is a bad hour to decide.
- The money is usually the last thing worth deciding on, not the first.
What actually helps
- 1Write the question as one line, no 'but', no 'maybe'. If you can't, you're not deciding yet.
- 2Write what you'd tell a friend who asked you the exact same thing. Then read it as if they wrote it.
- 3Ask once and take the answer as a direction, not a verdict. Then sleep on it.
You don't need to be sure. You need one honest read before you act on a tired night.
One question, one direction — not a verdict on your future.
Questions people actually ask
Should I quit my job if I hate it?
Nobody outside can answer that for you. What we can do is read this moment: whether it points forward or asks you to hold. Ask once, take the direction, then sleep on it before you act.
How do I know if it's a sign or just anxiety?
A sign does not arrive with a pulse. Anxiety repeats; a reading points once. If the same thought keeps circling, that's a reason to get one honest read, not twenty.
