    The lunacy part is posting this to LinkedIn rather than discussing in private with a therapist.

      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.

        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.

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