All day I solve problems I'm genuinely good at. I tune the numbers, fix the broken thing, make the chart go up. For a few minutes the puzzle grabs me and it feels good. Then I look up and remember none of it matters to me, not really, and the hollow feeling slides right back in. I'm skilled at filling my days with things I don't care about.
More people experience this than they realize.
You're good at solving problems that mean nothing to you, and the emptiness keeps returning.
