> Corporate environments are almost always toxic places to fulfill your emotional needs. A job (corporate or government) is exchanging labor for money. Generally, people tend to be good at jobs they enjoy doing. The idea is to get educated in something you enjoy, and make that your career.
Famously, the world doesn't need people to farm or clean toilets. We can all become "coders".

You keep talking in circles around a definition of valid. You are just wrong on this. You want to seem sophisticated and understanding, and it's just lazy stupid thinking.
I think their definition of valid is consistently aligning with the meaning of "acknowledging and accepting someone's internal experience". As soon as you start trying to apply normative judgements to someone's feelings, as opposed to their behaviour, you inevitably end up drawing an arbitrary and cutlurally informed line between what you or socirty think is okay and what's not. It's only a problem if I feel excited…
If you have cancer, you have a serious problem. It's not "wrong", but it's a serious problem to be dealt with. If you are excited by the idea of an old woman hurting herself or choking a woman to death, you have serious problems to deal with.
