I have come to realise that the emotions I feel are 90%+ caused by idle time. I've decided to direct my hate, anger and anguish into something productive and make sure my hands are working at all times. I am going to talk to my boss about extending my hours to 12 hour days (business is only open 5 days a week, so can't extend days). Perhaps I should buy a property so I can clear it and make it fallow over the weekends (live in a rental apartment in the city so I can't do renovations/carpentry etc). Or maybe I should get a 2nd job.
I realised that I can't identify myself outside of anything other than work if I want happiness. Do you feel the same pol?
>I have a special brand of escapism You're no better than the faggots who play games for 8+ hours a day.

Whatever you say wagie.

Who /12hourshifts/ here?

Good goy
Robert Phillips
This is exactly my point. Both of these posters are very emotive and it is because they have too much free time on their hands. They are like housewives who create drama to keep themselves entertained.
Levi Carter
I'm the same way, the more work I do the better I feel, it must've been the way I was raised with a Catholic Hispanic stepfather, of course I'm talking physical labor work, actual work. Currently I'm at a gas station dealing with food stamp fucks all the time.

What you feel is perhaps completely normal. You need your own house instead of living in an apartment, and you need to marry and start a family.

>my life is only good if I'm working to the bone to make somebody else money they sure got you trained
Have fun being the spoonfed subhuman of our civilizations. You are pathetic, a nobody, a mere subhuman even worse than a nigger.

You have to learn to be alone, user. Emotion isn't bad, it's a strength, when channeled correctly. You're trying to escape yourself, but you should do work on the interior and on your soul. You're hiding from yourself.
Jace Sanchez
i have just recently come to that realization myself

>I have emotional issues from a dissatisfaction with life so I'll just distract myself to stop thinking about it instead of solving the actual problem
No different than people who get escapism from videogames/books/T.V/drugs/alcohol/any other hobbie or pass time.
You might just have more money at the end with your form of escapism.
What you're doing is nothing new. People have worked themselves into the ground to avoid their lives for centuries
Except through working I am improving the lives of others. And then I'll also spend, again improving the lives of others (buy a property perhaps, as mentioned in OP, the equipment necessary etc)
Kevin Johnson
So you regret getting married and now avoid your wife/homelife by spending all your time at work.
Wouldn't say that's the oldest story in the book but it's close
Christian Brooks
What do you do for work out of curiosity? How does it help people?
I'm not saying it can't have positive side effects but you still sound like you've got some issues that it would be healthier to work through than avoid and ignore
Matthew Flores
Pascal had the right of it "Whatever condition we picture to ourselves, if we muster all the good things which it is possible to possess, royalty is the finest position in the world. Yet, when we imagine a king attended with every pleasure he can feel, if he be without diversion and be left to consider and reflect on what he is, this feeble happiness will not sustain him"
Evan Thompson
I think there's nothing wrong with you. What you feel is just how humans and human civilization evolved to be. Society needs people exactly like you. You should just make sure to not overlook a burn-out by overworking sneaking up on you, and see if you can coordinate your overtime ideas with your wife (or husband).

Wife is also going to get a 2nd job. We are both happy together. The emotions I mentioned aren't directed at her, but just at stupid shit I read here and experience. I feel that's why most people come here, just to feel a little worked up.
I'm an accountant. It's not a Dr, but I feel I help people.
Danke Hans. I feel that wifey will get a bit over 2 job in a year or 2. That's fine. I'll just knock her up before then so she can quit one and take maternity leave for the other.

I'm not a fan of work I'd rather be self-employed but it's a gamble
