Retired Early, Returned to Work—Now I Regret Everything 😅

Twelve years ago, I thought I had it all figured out—I retired early, traveled, and enjoyed life. But curiosity (and maybe a little boredom) pulled me back into the workforce. Four months in, and I’m questioning my sanity. Office politics are more confusing than ever, and I feel like an outsider at every meeting. The endless emails, pointless tasks, and awkward small talk are driving me up the wall. Did I forget how to survive in this environment, or has the workplace just gotten weirder? I’m honestly at a loss. Has anyone else gone through this? How do you cope with the stress and the strange new rules? I could really use some advice before I lose my mind! 🤯 #CareerComeback #WorkplaceStruggles #SeekingAdvice #JobCareer
