I keep bullshitting myself into thinking that I could do such and such but I know for a fact I don't have it in me to do anything other than to live the basic 9 to 5 life and the cognitive dissonance is slowly killing me. How do I become the boring adult that we thought all adults were as kids. Or more precisely how do I learn to accept being one.
You won't learn to accept that which doesn't make you happy. In your situation id rather be on my feet sweating than sit on my ass dying of mental anguish. I'm currently in a corporate job and I fucking hate it. Sure it's climate controlled, really not that hard and I get paid decently, certainly more than I'm worth but I'm really unhappy. The meaninglessness of it is really grating and I have a very difficult time completing what little tasks I have.
>>34506223>You won't learn to accept that which doesn't make you happy.Why not? Countless generations of people in the past have managed that. Unless you're going to argue they all reeeeally loved their lot in life.
>>34506352Countless generations have been bitter and angry. They also fought for better conditions and rioted when necessary. We don't do that anymore so why not pick something tolerable or even something that makes you happy? We live and we die. You can pursue happiness during your life or you can do as previous generations did and die a miserable fuck. Either way nobody gives a fuck. The only person who will care is you, and your parents assuming they're decent.
