This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Thinks of going outside

Opens door

Get slapped with a wave of heat akin to opening an oven

Nah, I'm good staying in.

It's 32 degrees Celsius in my apartment. It can't get any worse.

Actual most common regrets include wishing you hadn't worked so hard and living a life you wanted rather than one others expect of you.

I've heard this a lot but I don't put too much weight to it. It's too easy to forget that you had bills to pay and just think "if I had just quit my job everything would have been sunshine and rainbows"

depends on the job and why you're doing it. a lot of people are working jobs they hate to provide for people they love, who they don't feel loved by. and that's some fucked up shit.

what's weird as a dude, i find personally, is that if you aren't suffering for your job, you're considered an underachieving. I don't get it. there is a weird fetishization that men must be miserable at their jobs, or if they love their work, they must be working 80 hours a week at it.

i work my 35 hours, my bills are paid, i am enjoying life... don't see why this is so offensive to folks.

Impression I get is that its more don't treat your career like its your life. Which is absolutely something a fair few people do.

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

where i live you're a social freak if you don't treat your job as your identity/purpose/reason for being.

it's wild. And yet... all these people are miserable as far as I can tell.

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

what if the life i want is the one where i watch media and ignore everyone else's expectations of me?

Your murderbot fanfic needs a little more plot, but pretty good otherwise

[–] Feddinat0r@feddit.org 16 points 1 week ago

Well... That hit me a little bit closer than i like to admit

Looking at nature is just analog media consumption.
