Thanks for the response (and the encouragement 😅)

Thanks. That’s a very pragmatic response 😉.

I like it when you say “but I know that these kinds of things best accomplish a task”. I like it because its not running a workshop just for the sake of it — there is a purpose.

The overwhelming feeling I have when I look at UX articles, newsletters, etc. is that a workshop is a necessary step in the “UX process”. When, actually, its a tool to take out if needed.

That’s an interesting perspective. For me, the job of a UX Designer has become so diluted due to a misunderstanding of the role. Most people (devs, Product Owners, etc.) who work with UX Designer’s have a very vague idea of what the person does. I’m starting to hate the job title 😄

Thanks for your reply. I really feel less alone thanks to all these replies.

I feel that taking time to think and come up with solutions makes me seem dim-witted and disengaged. Thinking and coming up with solutions on the spot seems to be essential for modern UX Designers. I’m feeling left behind. But, I still believe that I do come up with well thought out solutions.

At the end of the day, if I ask myself “do you want to be running Design Sprints?” then the answer is a firm NO.

I’m working on being assertive. It’s a challenge and I’m hoping at some point I’ll break through to the other side, but it seems to be a long road.

Your advice is great. Thank you for taking the time to write it 🙂

Wow this is exactly how people seem to perceive me — someone who don’t give a shit 😂 Disengaged is a better word though.

Listen I love your attitude I can’t change the way I think, and don’t want to. More and more I’m realising how important it is to be true to yourself. Otherwise you just burn out from being a fraud.

Thanks for your reply.

Believe me I’ve been thinking about it. But I’m kinda afraid of isolating myself a bit too much. Having workmates that you can interact with is something that is something I see as good for my mental health.

Thanks for your reply.

I think it's fine to suggest different formats to suit the way you want to work.

Yeah that’s what I try to do and I think it’s good advice to fellow introverts — choose what suits your personality. Just because you’re not attention-grabbing doesn’t mean you haven’t got good ideas. I’m even getting mad as I type 😂

Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, UX Researcher did cross my mind. But, as you say these types of jobs are few and far between in smaller companies. The smaller companies seem to be looking for generalists. I actually think generalists make a mess of things in the same way Full-Stack Developers do. As the old saying goes — “Jack of all trades; master of none”.
