I want to work

I want to work, make money, connect with collaborators, have fun. So I start looking at jobs. I get sales, operations. Spiritual with hospice.

Sales and operations pay more money and are fun in theory. But day in day out I don’t have the consistent stamina to truly excel or enjoy

Spiritual I like but don’t really care for the money

I guess I will do sales but I don’t enjoy it. Does anyone truly enjoy their job? Asking for a friend

Bother

I can barely be bothered to act like I care about hospice and I don’t want to work hard and have a ton of responsibility. I can do it but it is unnatural. Like the last job. I worked nonstop for two months but when it slowed down I was more than happy to step back.

Work

I can do hospice operations and sales. I know enough to sell myself as an expert. The problem is I don’t have a passion for them. Not even enough apparently to do the bare minimum to avoid getting fired or seen as useless. John prine said he would rather make a sandwich than write a song. I can relate

New me

I need a new me anyway. This life isn’t serving me. Funny how I am frustrated and depressed. Broke and scared. Yet afraid to lose something.

I don’t have any deep meaningful relationships but I am scared to lose somebody. Who I don’t know…

Guilty

What do I feel guilty or shame about? Sex?Being a shitty employee? Being with the WIL?

Ugh. I feel this is just devolved into a lurid salacious sex confessional

I feel dirty and stupid constantly. At the same time i have felt depressed so upsetting people might be a good thing. If you don’t want to be a part of my life because of who I am or what I did better to move on than try to stay involved. Hell, I don’t really have any close friends or family any way

Upside down

I am so used to operating with my secrets tucked far away. I get nervous realizing what I have done. I feel exposed. Compromised. Vulnerable. I have lost respect from others. I lost respect for myself.

Are they sins? Shame? Embarrassment? I am crushing myself.

If I am not prodded I spend all my time alone doing nothing. I truly am sloth.

Hobbies

I don’t have any hobbies. I like to go for walks. Now for the first time I am being more disciplined about writing but that has come and gone from time to time. Other than that, reading?

I don’t have much passion or interest in tinkering, equipment, gadgets. I envy people that do like those things.

Shame

I have spent so much energy trying to overcome shame.

Shame about changing jobs so often. Shame about drinking and hiding hangovers. Shame about fucking. Being stupid. Shame about slacking off instead of working hard.

Shame about being an introvert. Shame about wanting to spend time alone instead of with people. Then feeling guilt because I don’t spend time with people.

I want love, acceptance but I don’t know how to receive it. I don’t know how to seek it. I spend my time alone imagining my times with other people.

I put up this huge facade to make people think I am better than I am. That I am a flawed simple man but if I can erect some edifice I can keep my illusion and sanity.

Even shame about wanting to be a rock star in high school and collage. I have lived so deep in my head. It feels liberating to open the doors and let things I stuff come out into the open. It also feels scary. There is a reason I hid all this shit. I didn’t want people to know because I was sure they would think less of me. In my mind right now I am inventorying everyone I know and imagining their reaction. Gulp

Shame about trying to start my own business and become a career coach. That i sold one copy of my book and gave away two more.

I never wanted to be like everyone else. I didn’t want to pander to be liked but I still wanted to be liked
