I think it's all too common to absorb a value system from social context with little examination. Validation is more comfortable than doubt, peer pressure is real and habit/convention carry inertia. It took me 2 years in a job I knew I couldn't justify to finally work up the courage and conviction to leave. Moreover the cycle can take place multiple times in life as beliefs are updated and values refined.

I mentor a ton of people and have for decades at various stages of their life and career. People

A) rarely have a clear view of their values insofar as it aligns to what they do for a career or job. Maybe about X social issue, but rarely about themselves.

B) careers and corporate brainwashing greatly distorts peoples internal view of themselves and their relationship to their work

C) values change continuously throughout life. The people who seem to hold most tightly to a narrow range over a long time tend to be the least introspected.
