Do you ever happen to feel hopelessly alone swimming in a putrid cesspool crowded with “religiously blind and delusional labour supporters”? This is a massive problem.. They’re mostly boomers, but also inexplicably young adults, living your exact same miserable and unrewarding job reality…
I mean, they really look like an extremist religious cult to me, willing to go to any lengths to protect their pathetic and pitiful working conditions. I do believe that’s an incredibly harmful and toxic mindset: we’re all slaves to it, yet you see fit to celebrate and worship it as a deity.
I’m basically at ease exclusively when I am alone as I mostly feel cornered and surrounded when I’m around the majority of people. As soon as I notice humble brags, toxic entrepreneurial positivity, work-exhaustion celebration or LinkedIn-like speeches I stop speaking, I literally freeze; they all seem to support the status quo one way or another and I really feel I’m left with no one to seriously talk to every once in a while. Two or three people (just one close friend of mine) at most. I’m always the odd one out.
Have you ever felt the same?
Uh and how do you generally deal with your drinking problem (if you have one)?
