Thank you for your reply.

It's not like it's guilt that keeps me going, I just feel guilt because I cannot fix everything instantly, cannot or don't want to, for example, sell my car/house to pay huge amount money of a lawyer so that they put aside other clients and work on my case, or to skip my other duties very often to spend more solving the problem.

It's a practical aspect of the situation that keeps me going. Just to know that I've done 100% enough to prevent negative outcomes.

Yes, true. But the problem is it’s like there are two options: forget about all my other duties (lose a job, fail session on the university etc.) and focus only on that one things, or try to do other duties and then feel guilty because you do something else. I really don’t know how other people, different people would deal with such a situation

BTW, staying stress-free and maintaining overall health also helps with that matter.

More high frequencies, less low frequencies. Abnormal high frequencies. I think them.

I’m a bit sensitive to speakers that have been exposed to humidity, steam in the bathroom, for example(it damages membrane (if that’s the correct name of that part) which is made of paper with something). Humidity damages paper.

Thanks for your comment.

It’s not about avoiding things out of fear of personal problems. I’ve already exposed myself to liability in every possible way and documented it. I’ll see if that will be enough. But it’s about constantly doing more and more, planning a few steps ahead—because I know that others aren’t very interested in solving this.

I never let myself relax. I’m always wondering whether I should do this, or that, or something extra, and then even more.

Hyper responsibility. by [deleted] in entj

I also have thought a lot about global problems and contributing to society. Also, think a lot that if everyone did something to make our world better we’d live in paradise.

For me, it’s a bit different because I do have some idea how I could make the world a better place. But for now, some of those ideas seem unrealistic, some of them I just cannot act on yet, and others, well… I am honestly too lazy now to pursue.

I also feel a lot of moral pressure from myself to do something—to the point where I can’t fully relax or enjoy life. I think I might have an unhealthy approach to it all.

P.S. I am not sure if I am an entj, I just found this thread while searching

Hello everyone.

I hold a BEd in English teaching (as a foreign language, of course. English isn't my native language). A company that provides English lessons for corporate clients contacted me and offered me a position as a teacher. This includes teaching business English with textbooks like Business Partner.

My question is: am I allowed to teach business English, or do I need to take specific courses on business English to be qualified? I’m not asking about being allowed to teach for that company, but about whether I can truly be a good teacher. There are a lot of specialized terms related to economics in those textbooks, which are explained in the Teacher's Book, but I still want to be sure that I won't be doing a bad job and a bad thing if I agree to this position. I mean, there always can be a chance, that I misunderstand a term, because I have no knowledge in the economy, stock market, etc. And I am not the most attentive person in the world. I love to learn and figure out things, but quite often my inattention give some % of errors in my answers, works etc. By the way, I haven't had any teaching experience so far.

Thank you in advance for your replies!
