>work hard at job
>can't muster up the initiative to do any work in my free time on side projects or learning anything significant

Am I a cuck? I worry that doing well at school was just a sign of docility.

Same thing happens to me, work my ass off and then don't feel like working on shit that will net me a better position/job in the future.

Are you a software engineer? This shit happens when you don’t have the prospect of getting paper right in front of your face.

What even does that mean? I’ve heard of general (((office worker))) jobs but I have no clue what that actually entails.

unfortunately yes. i've struggled against this my entire adult life in spite of being the valedictorian of my highschool and graduating from a top 5 university for my major. everyone always told me i was going to be something and do great things, but i'm stuck making $25 an hour working for somebody who bullies me and barely graduated high school. i thought sergey would deliver me from this hell but that's not looking promising anymore. sorry you had to figure it out anon, but you're a born loser

studied biochemistry, didn't network because i thought i was just there to learn cool shit (it really was good fun to learn all that i did) and had no plan to get trapped in a high end SV job like my peers. i was raised to be mommy and daddy's little helper relationship anxiety triangulation piece so i actively fudded myself out of pursuing my own financial interests and independence for the better part of two decades, and now here i am at 32 holding my tongue while the people who feed me talk to other people on my behalf and try to bully and bribe me into liking them. however, i understand that it's 100% my fault for not trying to dig myself out succesfully. i took initiative a few years ago and left the nest with the scant youthful ambition i had left, and it failed miserably with me living in a black mold house, developing an autoimmune condition, and eventually being forced to quit what would have been a great career. sometimes you are just a loser and the world needs to keep you that way.
