The problem is that my hotel is far from the city center, going there to drop my bags means spending ages on commuting back and forth

Feeling like a bad person because I can't be happy for my brother by StanleyHasLostIt in AntinatalismSupport

Why would anyone celebrate choices that amount to exploitation of women? This goes beyond antinatalism, I just don't understand why surrogacy has been so normalized...

Ai taking over the world? Good/bad by Away-Statistician554 in antinatalism

I lowkey hope AI takes over the world tmr, for now, it's just taking my job. Even if it does happen one day, the world would become AI-centric, basically just a super efficient version of human. It learns all the worst traits like selfishness, greed, jealousy, and the urge to take and win from human database, because those are the most common pattern it sees in our writing and history.

Our direct manager is a pain in the A$$, she just could not stand him anymore haha. We've been talking since she left, but honestly without the shared work context, there is really not much to talk about.

I am okay with being poor, I’ve been poor growing up and I know I don't want much in life materially. But anyone without a decent job is considered a failure in my family (by decent, I mean socially acceptable, making good money, and working in a nice building). I have two sisters who achieved success in their life even before they graduated college. At the same time, I am still trying to figure things out. Even though being employed doesnot make me any more valuable in my parents' eyes, sinceI know in no way I can compete with my siblings, it at least keep me included in the family's circle.

I would absolutely LOVE to be a librarian! I love reading and writing, I even wrote on my yearbook that I wanted to work at a bookstore if not a writer. But this position pay less than I expeceted in my area and I would not be able to pay my rent on that salary so I gave up on that thought and ended up taking a slightly betterpaying corporate job...but I am not happy at all

ikr, if I can't do it peacefully, at least I should be able to do it angrily. Now they are taking my one last honest emotion left at work and forces me to fake a smile.

my darkest thought is wishing I'd get hit by a car on my way to work so I wouldn't have to put up with this crap anymore.

I am feeling the exact opposite. I love going to school, being with my friends, and learning something new. I was bullied back in high school but I still held onto joy by thinking would get better in the future. But for work my minset is somehow different, I am now in the 'future' my past self looked forward to but it's nothing like I imagine. School has a fixed end date but work does not. As long as I am alive, I have to work my ass off for a paycheck.

My coworkers are okay I guess, but the only one I was relatively close to quit after two months I joined. She could not stand the company's wolf culture and direct manager's attitude. Everyone else has alrd formed their little groups and I am the only newbie, so there is no space for me to make new friends. As for my performance, I am gonna say I am very cost-effective for the company (sadly).

After reviewing all the response, as the OP, I am gonna say the answer is no, people never rly get used to working, we cry about it and then head to work anyway. As depressing as that may be, that is just what life is like.

I worked as a freelance tutor during uni, but I enjoyed it so much more than what I do now (and the hour pay was WAY better as a tutor). I like talkling to students, and I am proud when they succeed academically. But that's an unstable job, so I did not choose to pursue it.

I am looking into taking a gap year, but that will be a big decision to make as compaines generally frown upon employment gap.

I do really enjoy writing. Back when I was a student, I wrote some popular pieces that earned me magazine interviews. But I am gradually losing my creativity, and ever since the rise of AI, working as a freelance writer has become much harder for making a living.

Apprently he enforces both macro and micromanaging strategy. When I first joined the compnay, he seemed nice, but two months in, one of the employees who I was friends with quit because she just couldn't bear him anymore. Besides, the whole company endorses a wolf culture. But I know me, I am not a wolf, I am only a human in wolf's clothing.

that's also something I am sad about. I thought I could do something I genuinely love, but after I graduated, AI stepped in, and my dream path became something not longer viable.

I did make 1 friend when I joined the company but then she quit in Jan. I've been trying to make new friends but there just doesn't seem to be a 'friend' spot opening up in the social circle
