It feels impossible to be an HR when you’re maawain

Hello to my fellow HRs. I entered this profession trying to shy away from being desensitized. I want to be as considerate as I can be to people but I believe it’s hindering my professional growth in being an HR. I’ve told myself numerous times that I want to quit being an HR because it’s not for me but I push myself strong because other than it being my only means for survival, the longer I stay the longer I learn more about myself as well.

I’m finding it hard to accept that in HR, you really have to see people as resources because being merciful is just coddling them and not really contributing to their growth.

It’s just that I really cannot stop myself to think that they’re human too.

I’m having a hard time talaga and once again I am at a dilemma of thinking if HR is for me. But this time, I’m more open to the idea that maybe it’s not for me because my being maawain is a sign of my incompetence.
