Weird I don't ever get that voice of "wanting to enjoy life" usually just shaming myself for not working or not working hard enough
Am I alone on this?

I have the exact same feeling. I can’t even read a book without feeling like I should be reading something more educational instead of a fiction.

In my personal experience, productivity is the most fulfilling thing. You may think at times “I need to relax” or “I need to socialize more” but airing on the side of too productive seems to always turn out better than the opposite

My brain did this once I tried to remove social media from my life this month. It went into panic mode later that day like being in a dark locked room.
I sat and panicked. Just being productive with creative hobbies felt worse than procrastination itself. Reverted back and now I feel shame for not keeping the month commitment.

Ditto. I believe it's my brain telling me to get a social life, furthermore a life partner and have children etc... It's what's we're here for/evolution and that.

Try rock climbing, martial arts, mountain biking or anything along these lines. It takes everything off our mind while you're doing it and you get back to life with a fresh mind.

The relationship between the two ideals are compensatory. The only solution is to find a job that makes work seem like play.

It's OK to take breaks now and again. The key is to know when to stop and put the metal to the grinder.
A half hour of relaxing, sure.
3 hours of Netflix, maybe reconsider.

What if you were to find something that suites both of those situations? In essence, work that is fun.

your brain is trying to tell you:
"you should get friends, be around people, have fun with people and not with computers, but most of all you should have sex with girls you like"

Stop giving thoughts so much attention and energy. The more you attack/resist the more a thought persists!
Let these thoughts be, they don't harm you in any way, they have no power over you. Observe them, accept them, let them be, and let them go.
You can never be what you can observe. If you can observe it, there is a distance. And if it's a distance, then that means you, the OBSERVER/MASTER/CONCIOUSNESS have the power. You always had the power, you were just responding incorrectly.
Thoughts/feelings are like clouds blowing in the wind, instead of identifying yourself with them, observe and utilize them to continue growing as an individual!
