sit on their asses all day, do drugs and play video games

I couldn't really imagine living like this. I'm pretty sure I'd end of up suicidal. It's not work, especially not corporate work that I'd miss, just the thought of really having no aspirations and just existing to eat, shit, and move air around is a no go. Is that just something the modern upbringing does to people, or am I the weird one?

I'll be honest, I've been there (minus the drugs.) It's not a fulfilling experience, and I certainly do better with something to keep me busy.

They have no hope oftentimes. Some subconscious part of their mind tells them the world is wrong, but they suppress it by spending their time on their rear, wasting away as the world leaves them behind.

suicidal

When you notice the negative thoughts creeping in, just use more drugs.

Well they end up suicidal too. Men 15-40 suicide rates are pretty high

Anytime I'm on vacation for more than like 5 days I start to go insane. I don't do a drug harder than soda, but I am compelled by some force inside me to work to feel any sort of satisfaction with my day.

Like, fuck the companies I work for. But I take a lot of pleasure in my work itself for my own sake, they just benefit from it some of the time.
