When you don't like what you're doing, is it a sign that you should stop doing it?

Answer 1

It means you are not in your niche (comfort zone; area of expertise; style of living, doing, feeling, working). Find what you do like to do and then taper off this thing as soon as possible.

Answer 2

It depends on why you dont like doing what you're doing. If its because you are not sure its right or you just have this gut feeling telling you not to do it then you should definetly stop. But if not then maybe you should you should look deeper into what you're doing and then decide. No one can answer this question for you because the real answer is within you!

Answer 3

IF WE WERE LISTENING MORE ACCURATELY TO OUR "INNER" AND DEVELOPED THE ABILITY TO ACT ACCORDING TO THE SIGNS GIVEN US THEN WE WOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED HALF OF OUR PROBLEMS, HENCE OUR INSIDE STRUGGLES,ETC!!
Obviously, everything is relative and sometimes we should proceed even with things that we do not like. But let that be exception. If we dislike and hate and feel not like doing something, It is a SIGN that our senses and compound personality rejected that too, in reciprocity I would say: stop it and avoid a possible self-contradiction.

Enjoy life!
Have a great day!

Answer 4

it depends on what the "it" on hand is, so i think it'd be a case by case basis.

for e.g. if you don't like to brush your teeth or shower, it doesn't mean you should stop doing it everyday.

if you're talking about a job, then yes, probably you should look for a new one, if you don't desperately need the job in the first place cause of financial problems etc.

if the "it" is something that used to be your passion, a hobby etc, but now you're just doing it out of habit or duty, then maybe you should consider to stop doing it and explore other options.

hope i've answered your question.

Answer 5

It depends upon what you are doing.
Most individuals don’t like the job they are in but need money to affect a lifestyle so they try to keep their job.
If the thing that is not liked is something that is not necessary to my existence, not only would I view it as a sign to stop doing it, I would make an effort to stop doing it as soon as I began to feel that way.
Repeatedly doing things that one doesn’t like can lead to depression and anti-social and possibly some kind of negative behavior.

Answer 6

No.
I didn't like stuffing salmon in machine way the hell out in the Bering sea for16 hours shifts....seven days a week...until fish ran out.
But that is what I had to do.

And that was short season.
Did three month gigs flipping fish up there...pollock

Plus a whole lot of other things in the past 40 or so years.
(I am 55)

note: and when wind kicks up to 100+ mph and breaks the mooring lines of the ship we were offloading to and blows it up on the rocks...total loss.
And then our anchor chains snap and everybody has to go to cabins and wait with survival suit until we drag our butts into Dutch Harbor.
I'd rather be doing other things.

Answer 7

Dont like then dont sign. The 'foregoing' is always negotiable.

Unless you are prepared to put up with the inconveniences of the obligations that signature gives you then dont sign.

Answer 8

yea! But it's not always possible to stop doing a job though you may not like it (who does?) but you still have to go on doing it cuz you need the $$ or until you can find something better to do

Answer 9

Not necessarily. It might be considered training grounds for tolerance, patience and perseverance. You might not like your job, but it pays the bills. So, you either make up your mind to just do your job and who knows, in time you might get to like it or maybe your not liking it might not bother you anymore.

Answer 10

Not always, Alot of things in life we don't/won't like doing but they are necessary for us to learn a particular skill/lesson we will later need.

I think if you dont like what you are doing you should always push ahead. Climb that hurdle so you can begin a new one.
