Hey everyone! So, I just quit a new job after only 2 weeks because it was really toxic for my mental health. The experience really opened my eyes to how important work-life balance is. Honestly, the whole “hustle life” thing? NOT FOR ME SIR! I’m not paiseh to admit it. But now my family’s calling me picky and weak for leaving. How is it prioritizing my mental health making me WEAK?? Really need some support for you guys rn..I'm not wrong for quitting, right

Nah, you’re not wrong at all. Some jobs just aren’t it, and forcing yourself to stay in a toxic environment won’t magically make things better. Family might not get it, but it’s your life, not theirs. Take a breather, reset, and find something that doesn’t drain you. You got this!
