I do think I'm happy at my job, the issue was that, once I tried to take other side works, I had nothing to share because the value I brought was only for the company I'm in.

Personally, I consider "fulfillment" the act of doing something that's worth the effort for more than my paycheck. This is something I already do today.

What I need is, to focus on the right things.

Just doing work at work, to put it simply. 😊

It's okay for some to find fulfillment in their career, and to not for others. Just need to figure out which you are

What are the most DANGEROUS cognitive traps to fall into?

Blending my life and my job.

I worked so much into making my environment better just to understand that all I did was actually for someone else, someone that was making profit out of it, my precious personal time was basically like some weird kind of unpaid work.

Having an healthy and friendly environment at work is fine, just keep you personal growth "personal", you're more important than a job you can change or lose.
