It's difficult to find motivation to get a job when you're already not finding much satisfaction in life

totally, I often get into the negative-thought cycle of "well what's the point in trying, I'll still be miserable with a job, just a different kind of miserable" which is probably true but like, something's gotta change and the way I'm living now is just not sustainable. I know where this lifestyle leads and it's not good or healthy

Also, how did you manage to be life avoidant and not like videogames? Impressive

lmao well, I used to play video games. though I always disliked most game genres there were a few specific games I would sink a lot of time into, probably too much time... and that's a big part of why I've become gaming-averse. also seeing how gamers act really turned me off to the whole thing. now it just doesn't appeal to me at all, although lately I just waste time on other unhealthy activities tbh
