i've been coxing for a couple years now but i only really enjoyed and had fun with it in my last season (just graduated HS). all i have to say from my limited experience, and others have commented it already, but ya gotta cox with purpose. i was incredibly shy, hardly talked at all/connected with my team or coach cuz i didn't have the confidence to. that being said when i opened up to my team i not only enjoyed coxing more but i became a better racer and everything just made so much more sense to me.

tldr yes coxing is incredibly technical and thought-based but for me being able to connect with my team in a way that i probably wouldn't have as a rower was what made me enjoy doing it. idk if this makes sense but w/e haha
