hmmm I left out my experience... I'm not sure it's good for the study because of my syn since I don't "feel" emotions like most people (I "see" them, in colors); I suppose I run almost entirely on how I "think" it's supposed to be kinda. Like I think I should feel proud when I get something to work - so I kind of "act" it out. Not all the time, but when it seems like I'm expected to... Anyway, for what it's worth:
I always enjoyed working and it was a huge part of my life as I tended to internalize the business "as my own" kind of - not that I take over from the owner/BOD/CEO or anything like that [usually]. Its a bit counter intuitive because I would be stressed out about problems at work and I'd be constantly fretting about this or that, but it was always fulfilling for me because I always made it work out somehow. I've not actually thought about it in these terms before, but I suppose I figure if I was successful at work, then I was successful at home, and thus in life or something along those lines. I can say that I do find myself missing work; I get bored and ... listless, I feel like I need to be doing something more important, but so far I've been able to shrug it off because I'm retired now. I'm supposed to be enjoying not having to work! I am generally able to convince myself of that; and when it fails I start a house project (I just finished installing a stainless steel back splash in the kitchen for just that reason!)
