Psychology Side Effects of Forex Trading
I remember how little quitting my “real” job troubled me. Walking out of my blue cubicle, where I spent years wondering if I could somehow request another cubicle next to office window without getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me. There was no tickle of mystery about it – I just got fed up working for someone else that looks at you with blank and rather fishy expression every time you walk into his office.
I entered the world of online forex trading with bliss. I have been into forex trading for years and now, finally, my dream of working from home and really earning enough has come true. Here I am working my own hours at my own pace, being my own boss, finally spending some time with my previously abandoned dog! What can possibly go wrong?
Well, I started to notice things that you never have to deal with when you work in an office. For example:
- I start to forget how to drive my car. Actually, I don’t even know where the car keys are – definitely somewhere in the house, unless the dog ate them…
- Whenever I go out from the house, I can hardly keep my eyes open due to an excessive amount of sunshine. That reminds me to buy a new pair of sun glasses.
- Whenever I am out of the house I seek attention from strangers. An icy bubble of excitement surges through me whenever there is a possibility of a real human conversation!
- Come to think of it, the driving skills are not the only skills that I started loosing. I no longer have a social “touch”. When limited to endless conversations with 2 years old golden retriever and forex trading forums my social skills have gone bye-bye. I no longer able to express myself without stumbling over words. I wish I could type a conversation instead of saying a word! At least there is a “delete” option when you make a spelling mistake!
- I can spend the whole day wearing my pajamas… actually I can go on without showing for days.
- I sometimes can’t help but stare helplessly over the cluttered apartment. Unless I really can’t pick my way across the room I do nothing about it.
Don’t get me wrong – forex trading rocks, but you still need some kind of schedule while working from home, unless you want to end up like me!
