i (f19) hate that life is like this. i didn’t ask to be born just to work every day doing shit i don’t care about just so i can barely afford to survive. every morning i wake up and i feel sick knowing this is what it’s going to be like forever unless i win the lottery or something.
i look around and everyone just accepts it. they go to work, they come home tired, they scroll on their phones, then they do it again. over and over. and somehow that’s just supposed to be normal. i don’t want this life. i don’t care about promotions or climbing any ladder. i just want peace, freedom, and time to enjoy existing. is that too much to ask?
it honestly scares me how deeply unhappy i feel about this. i’m not lazy. i just don’t want my only value to come from how productive i am or how much money i make. i’m tired. so tired. and i don’t even know who to talk to about this because people will just say “that’s life” like that’s supposed to help.

Like you said “that’s life” but that’s the truth if you aren’t born into a rich family or win the lottery or something like that that’s the reality but you can make it easier for yourself by finding a job that you really enjoy even if it’s a rocky road you have to go through it.
If you find something in the end that you really enjoy then you’ve won.
Life isn’t just about work, being in a happy relationship having children in the future good friends etc so don’t worry too much about your future and enjoy life while you’re still young the rest will follow if you work hard
(sorry for the bad English not my first language)
I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way. You’re not alone so many people feel the same, even if they don’t say it. It’s not fair that life feels like working nonstop just to barely get by. You didn’t ask for this, and it’s okay to feel angry and tired.
Wanting peace, freedom, and time to just exist isn’t lazy, it’s human. You don’t have to want a big career or chase money to be worthy. Life shouldn’t just be about being productive.
It’s scary to feel this unhappy, especially when everyone else seems to just accept it. But you’re not broken. You’re seeing something real. And it’s okay to want more or less.
We say “that’s life” because that’s the only way to cope lol. Give it a few more years you will be beat down a little more and care a little less. Atleast that’s how it is for me. Find a hobby and take the time off that they give you.
Same. It’s fucking bleak. And we our only getting worse. Can’t afford to live can’t afford to die
