10 year work anniversary today
I miss being unemployed. I miss it so fucking bad. Today was an absolute shit day at work and it's really made me question a lot of life choices. I was unemployed right up until I was 24 and god damn it felt good to be a gangsta.
>Woke up whenever I wanted
>Did whatever I wanted
>Went wherever I wanted
>Read so many fucking books. My average was 3 a week according to GoodReads stats back then
>Learned so many things. Do you know how long it takes to get really good at bass guitar? about 3 years of practice. I know because I fucking did it. I used to spend about an hour most days practicing.
>Gardened so fucking much. I used to have a vegetable patch that was my pride and joy. I grew carrots, parsnips, swedes, potatoes, tomatoes, basil, mint, sage, ginger, chillies, eggplants and a shit load of other things and I loved taking care of them and harvesting them
>Wore shorts and flipflops, that's it. I only actually got dressed with a shirt and hoodie when the temps hit < 50f

I woke up every single day a free man. Every day full of possibility. If I wanted to waste it, I did. If I wanted to be productive, I did. Now every fucking day is the same and I feel crushed. I haven't slept peacefully in many, many years. I hate it. There's always a ball to juggle whether it be work, bills, a broken down thing, social obligations, work travel or whatever fucking else. I fucking hate it. I want out. Yay fucking money but you spend it on a fucking mortgage, a car that breaks down, shit to help you cope through your horrible work days and cope with the stress of pretending to be someone and something you're fucking not and deal with the fucking shitty retards you're forced to interact with day in and day out, buy stupid fucking clothes for work that makes you feel like your skin is being suffocated, it's all just fucking meaningless. I'm so fucking tired that I don't enjoy ANYTHING anymore. I'm depressed and fucking miserable. I wake up tired I hate it. I FUCKING HATE IT I WANT OUT.

What the fuck am I doing. I've been unemployed for a year and I was supposed to do stuff like what you did but I just got depressed and coomed my brains out everyday. I admire you OP.

As for you, could you not just leave your job? Do you have any obligations forcing you to stay there? Or perhaps you are just venting and the sacrifice is worth it in your mind.

Although you may quit and find out that despite hating your job, you also secretly liked it. That is how I feel a lot. Now that I have no job, I feel directionless. Even with hobbies it would feel bad not to have the constant income stream.

I used to live at home. Now I have a house, a car, a mortgage, if I leave my job that's it. My parents wont take me back I was kicked out. I'm stuck living like this for the rest of my life.

That's rough anon, it must be stressful to be backed in a corner like that. I don't know how much it costs to keep all that stuff up, but you could always live a low-income but self-sustaining lifestyle. You can actually make a lot of money off of doing stuff like boarding dogs in your house and other stuff just to fulfill the mortgage/car/insurance payments and a little bit extra. Low stress and you don't have to keep up appearances or deal with workplace politics. There are a lot of creative ways to earn money especially if you don't mind being poor.

But you may also find that you made a huge mistake if you left your job. Is most of your social interaction through your job? It was for me, and after quitting my job I started to feel incredibly alienated, insecure and depressed due to being an old man without any relevancy to the outside world. It would have been different if I was younger.

You may also find you miss the stress of work and being useful to your society. Also, if you're planning on starting a family or think you might regret not doing that you will probably be better off keeping your job.

You sound self-motivated enough to be OK if you quit your job but also know that it is pretty risky. Anyways I bet you thought of all this already but I know that feel anon.

incredibly gay, people don't care about you, they are not your friends, this is a fake friend cricle that have no inherent value, these are npcs, not real people
you built up no actual circle of real contacts, just normie npcs floating around in the real world, no people of value
99% of people in the world HAVE NO REAL VALUE, they are not real people
wagie sloppers are not real people
holy fuck man, you people need to realize you need to get rich, this is simply just it, nothing more nothing less
your existence is miserable full of low quality npc tier people that have 0 value
I am in the same spot, I have to get the FUCK out, I will, given enough time

>and being useful to your society
lmao, the slave craves npc slopper stimuli. this is insane.

please people get fucking rich and get a real social circle with people that have value. please get the FUCK OUT.

A friend circle at work is better than having no friend circle at all. Also, your work friends will help you out even if they're fake friends. I realize that it is pretty gay to care about your work friend circle that much, but I don't have a community/religion/large extended family to find any of that from and I'm an autist so now that my job is gone I have nothing.

>lmao, the slave craves npc slopper stimuli.
It's perfectly natural for people to want to be useful to others. It was still fulfilling to help others at work, more fulfilling than doing nothing at all. I would rather find this fulfillment through a real community, but as I said I did not have that. I'm an autist who was born into a crazy family and there is no real community around me I'm alone.

>please people get fucking rich and get a real social circle with people that have value.
Yeah sure I'll just wave my hands and make all that appear magically. You judge me as if any of that is easy to get or as if you have a better idea of how to get that then I do. You're talking like some kinda andrew tate retard who thinks everyone but upperclass dipshits are worth anything. You aren't enlightened anon.
