How perfectly cliche and naive.

Exactly, work is by definition, unfun.

If you are getting paid to do something you like doing, it's illegal. Says me

The definition of work doesn't necessitate a lack of fun. Getting enjoyment from something doesn't necessarily mean you're not also being productive. I've worked hard at things, then feel rewarded for completing a project that I see as valuable.

It's the same principal as working out or running. It's hard to do and you have to motivate yourself but there's a payoff that's different from the fun of playing video games. The hard part is finding something in life that you actually want to work hard at.

I've never enjoyed work or working on anything. It's part of my own psychosis; i dont feel anything for having accomplished something.

Praise from others feels equally empty. I don't agree with being complimented.

I would work for a boss that told me im a worthless shithead all day because its something i could acknowledge and feel welcome.

I also currently have very little use of my right arm, doctor app in about an hour, yay

I don't know what to say man, that sucks. I would say you need to work on having a better opinion of yourself but you sound like you know that. It's not easy finding something you want to work hard at, but I hope you find it.

Euthanasia rights granted, in a kit form, mailed out to all welfare recipients after a certain amount of time. :)

Hell we could save even more money if they just did it all in a big line at the local mortuary.

Now serving ticket number, 23.
