Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person or their instance. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on. Keep on-topic
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Yeah you have to have something solid, or a handful of things, to keep you motivated, or you mentally and physically wither. But i think you underestimate how difficult it is to find those things. Time x emotional connection is a really hard scale for us to perceive. When you start something new, and love it, the strength of that can feel like you'll love it forever. Only time teaches you thats not always the case.
Why do I have to love something and make it my purpose for forever? It’s fine to find purpose in something for a while, and then changing it up. People do it all the time. One day your purpose is to be successful at work, then maybe you become a parent and all of a sudden your purpose might change.
Idk, probably you’re right and it’s hard for people, it just feels like the easiest thing in the world to me. There is so much great and interesting stuff out there to occupy yourself with, a job always seems like the saddest option to me.
I'm semi-retired in my 30s, and I agree with you 100%
I currently have a half dozen or so hobbies I rotate through to fill my time (1 is a passion business that generates a small amount of money)
Sometimes I'll spend a few months just focusing on scuba diving, or I'll be flying all the time. Or I get really into a game and play it for a week straight
I worked in tech, so I still do tech as a hobby, but it's nice to be able to do it for months at a time
Nurture your hobbies. You should at least have something to look forward to other than work
PS: Also do hobbies with friends. I'm almost never doing anything alone, because it's more fun with others
Absolutely, but when its hard to find that thing in the first place, the relationships being brief provides more points of possible failure.
The grass is ALWAYS greener, that saying feels trite but it proves itself over and over.
Hope you find a job you like a bit more bud, I wish you all the luck in the world 🙏
Don’t worry about it, I’ve made my peace with the fact that I need to also do some stuff that I’m not crazy about in life. I wish you the best too! What a lovely and respectful chat on the internet haha
