I feel your pain friend. I’m sure you’re a fantastic teacher though! But I bet the constant focus-breaking and admin side of things puts a serious strain on you!
I found myself teaching a martial arts class regularly as a side thing. (Classes across all age groups), and even though people think I’m “so outgoing”, lemme tell ya…the martial arts part is the least exhausting part of it! 😂
I hope you find something that still feels fulfilling but allows you to work more naturally. :)
I actually did get good at it and even experienced the same via masking. Unfortunately, masking and perfectionism are not sustainable over a whole career and what sucks is that the teaching field tries to (in my experience) keep people within the education discipline via guilt and a lack of training outside of the classroom.
Anyway, I don’t totally regret my career but it’s time to move on. Thanks for the good wishes and response, friend.

I’m trying to get out of the field but it isn’t easy. I chose the wrong career 😆 🤣 😂
Sympathetic hugs for you! 🫂
