This afternoon literally I left work. I was having a conversation with my colleagues that I shouldn’t be so dependant on my parents… and all of a sudden I wanted to get away from this country and travel. I can’t just drop everything and go but I am tempted to. There is so much I want to do before i turn 30.
I’m 42 there is so much more I want to do
If I could I would I swear
I still hope

Impetuousness of youth comes to mind. Nothing wrong in travelling just plan it a bit better. Also be safe

No but my reasoning makes no sense whatsoever. My colleagues were discussing things and I think I revealed to much about myself and I feel embarrased so in order not to face them again I want to quit my job and go around the world (that’s what I tried to use as an excuse)
Running away? Doesn’t help anything and from many years of experience of trying. The one person you can’t run away from is yourself.
We all make mistakes. Just sleep on it. It maybe hard to face them at work next. But the anxiety will pass very quickly.
Does lead to question of what do you want to do? Leave the family nest to be more independent, Travel etc.
My first thoughts on this was me thinking of your like 18/19. Is a sense of not being taken very seriously as an adult despite being one at that age. Also over compensating to try to be taken seriously I maybe off the mark though.

I am extremely prone to taking off. As far as co-workers go, I did not/do not reveal private information.
What I have seen in my work environment is compassion and little to none judgemental attitudes. A co-worker can discuss hardships, obstacles, goals easily.
That is not the case everywhere.
Remember if you compose yourself as self-confident, that covers your backside. Simple as that. Use an air of self-confidence to squash any non-verbal or verbal cues coming from those you work with.
Taking off may mean you will lose meaningful relationships and things in your life, whereby you will suffer those losses down the road.

Depends…if you are running away from yourself, things you do, it doesn’t work. I did that when I was 19…thought if I moved to California I would get away from all the ‘looser’ drug addicts and drunks. Since I at the time drank and used stuff myself, though not a daily addict, all I did was find the same thing in SoCal.
I have however moved many times for change of environment, more opportunity, and get away from certain people who were no good for me to be around and those times were successful.
As far as work environments you can find good ones and bad ones everywhere. You really don’t know till you actually work in a place for a little while.
