What if work is the only thing that gives your life any structure?

(First of all, I just want to point out that this not a backhanded judgement towards anyone here and that I am fully aware that I am not a “normal” person. Just wanting people's opinion on this) Truth be told work is the only thing keeping me out of bed. And it's paid work. Work that I got through studying something I only realized halfway through I did not care about yet I was too far in to change. Work that gives me a better living than others that I (sort of) believe I earned because I put the (not as great as it could have been) effort in. Work that allows me to buy things that make me happy and hoard away in case I get too old or get into an accident and am prevented from work. I do not plan to ever get a relationship or start…

Truth be told work is the only thing keeping me out of bed. And it's paid work. Work that I got through studying something I only realized halfway through I did not care about yet I was too far in to change. Work that gives me a better living than others that I (sort of) believe I earned because I put the (not as great as it could have been) effort in. Work that allows me to buy things that make me happy and hoard away in case I get too old or get into an accident and am prevented from work.

I do not plan to ever get a relationship or start a family because that just seems like way too much responsibility. Just having normal family members bugging me to do things is too much effort. I dread them asking me for favors because I never feel like I am getting anything back (it doesn't help that they treat me like a child and dismiss all my opinions). I don't particularly care about my job. I don't have any hobbies that I can spend any concentrated effort in. So if I didn't have work, I would have literally nothing to do.

What place would there be for me in the world you seek to build?
