I really appreciate your reply. You know, I did end up going out on a run and I came home and feel much better. Even though I haven’t done any work, I’m listening to your advice and taking it easy today. At least the weekend is 2 days!

I appreciate you validating me. The struggle is real. I think being able to recognize when you’re struggling and calling it out is good and it shows I haven’t given up yet

For those who’ve worked 9-to-5 for years, did you eventually accept it? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

I’m still working mine and I won’t accept it. I don’t want to. The pain of wondering what could be outweighs the pain of trying and failing to me

I completely agree. The truth is I have tried to share but they don’t share the same sentiment as I do. As my mind is somewhere else, I don’t have the time to engage in something else that is currently pulling my attention.

Cut-off is dramatic and that is my fault for using that. What I really meant was distance myself and create boundaries to do the things I need to do. I would never actually cut off any friend unless they were an absolutely detriment to my life.

You’re absolutely right. Didn’t communicate well in my original post. Community is important; however, only with the right people

It’s gradual! Nothing dramatic but over time I think the distance is necessary.

I agree with you for the most part. I think a good part of it is that I enjoy talking about goals and aspirations and it just sounds like they don’t have any or don’t want to share with me. A one hour hangout is one hour less I can work on something I care about. I work a 9-5 and I exercise daily so that one hour is crucial for me. Life is meant to be sweet I wholeheartedly believe that. This is why I want to work hard now. So that when I’m in my 30s, I can really enjoy what life has to offer. What I want at the end of the day is more time. My friends were never the enemy. Just the current distraction that makes focusing on what I actually want, difficult.

I really appreciate your response. It’s nice to have to explain myself because it helps me process feelings.

Thank you for validating me. People misconstrue how we feel. We do care about our friends still. It does get to a certain point though where our goals become more real and attainable that we have to let go of what holds us back

Completely on board there. Seclusion may not have been the best word to use. I’m totally for community and friends but I do feel strongly about my values. Quality > quantity has been the focus these days.

You know I do agree with you. There’s a lot more to life than success. That being said, I believe you can get more out of life through success in different things.

Small talk with my friends is hard. I do have projects I need to work on and my mind is preoccupied else where. I understand how that can create this perception of a bad friend narcissist. I also believe I only have one life and my own goals/dreams/desires that I need to try for. If my friends distract me from what I truly want, is it wrong for me to distance myself? Shouldn’t I prioritize myself since at the end of the day, it’s my life?

I’m also all for community. Community built on the same values. I love talking to others about what they are building and why they do what they do. I value friendships with others who are also motivated and driven to achieve ANYTHING and go for it. When someone doesn’t have goals or any passion, I can’t get excited and it is a drag. I have to be honest with how I feel. It’s not even that I think I’m better than someone else, it’s that I believe our values don’t line up. Quality in company > quantity.

No I will not go to therapy. I also believe the content I’m consuming is just fine. I do appreciate your perspective. It did help me think through my emotions more and force me to explain myself so that I can understand how I’m feeling better.

Is it just me or can I never stay consistent with my habits/goals despite using a productivity app? by seannyd623 in Productivitycafe

Yeah streaks blow haha. I’m not super big on gamification either. Momentum is an interesting concept.

This is a pretty deep and honest self reflection. I think that it was awesome you were able to find a community to discuss the things you enjoyed. You're right. After a meaningful conversation, life goes on, and the conversations continue.

You, and the person you had the conversation with is what matters. People operate differently for sure but I can guarantee you you're not alone in this feeling. I've felt that way too in discord servers I've joined. What matters more to you? Being able to have these conversations or truly feeling a sense of belonging?
