TLDR: Is internalized grind culture a problem for you personally / a real obstacle towards a future with no coerced work? How do you / we deal with it?
I just grew up seeing my parents work and literally do nothing else. I'm actually more financially stable than they were (no kids, no big travel, etc) but I constantly have this nagging sense that I should be working more. This really plays out in my side hustle (selling stuff on ebay) where there's always more to sell (people throw away stuff all the time worth money).
I just wonder what role this has in creating a whole culture of working/grinding all the time. Like if I'm too tired to cook from working all the time so I get something on grubhub, that's just another person's grind (and most of it doesn't even go to them) and the cycle continues.
The fear, the anxiety, they just nag. Sometimes I can work through them but its really exhausting and time consuming to do it.
