Non founders, Have you ever felt emotionally attached to the product or service you work with?
During my last year of college, I volunteered at a youth organization, handling management tasks like organizing workshops, leading the team, and occasionally teaching online classes. I sometimes miss those days and find myself wondering how the organization is doing now.
It’s common for founders to be emotionally attached to their creation, but I’m curious how many non-founders feel the same way. I think many employees might also relate to this.

Yes, I’ve felt that. I worked at a local café that supported local artists and musicians. It was more than just a job; it was like a community. I miss the vibe and often think about the artists and friends I made their.

@all_appp_games I understand. It’s a nice reminder of how far you’ve come and the excitement you had when you first started.
100% me, and I think it's natural for founders to feel that way (if you're serious on your product).
I have this kind of feeling where I continuously 'kept on thinking' of how my product would be in the future, how my team could reach its highest potential, and how our product development cycles complies to our timeline, like DAY n NIGHT. If not, I'll feel demotivated in some way :/
@evan_christophers I get it, it's a real emotional rollercoaster. I think we just need to keep pushing forward and put in the effort.
Absolutely! I once worked on a project that aligned perfectly with my personal values. It felt rewarding to see it make a difference.
Definitely had that experience before! When you pour your heart into a product, it becomes more than just a job - it's a reflection of your creativity and hard work. That emotional connection is real. Walking away feels like abandoning a part of yourself, even if logically you know it's time to move on. Tricky balance for sure!
