    “When You have to do what You love, You’ll start hating it”. More accurate in my opinion.

      I dunno. I switched careers 10 years ago, and I have some good years and some bad years for my income but I still love it and wouldn’t want to do anything else.

      A proper “I’d still do this if I was rich” job. Still, I really do need and appreciate time off from it to recharge.

      I was warned it’s easier to burn out doing something you love because you won’t want to stop even when you can, and it’s true.

          I’m a psychotherapist. And I train others in the field too, from entry to degree level.

            I have a question, that you might be able to answer. Why do most 20 year olds say slurs, and act very far right? It is like we are regressing. I don’t use much socials, because I can’t handle the hate and toxic behaviours of people.

              Well, isn’t that the question of the ages.

              Each generation wants to know why the next is getting it so wrong!

              Its mostly good news on that front, from a psychology point of view. Perhaps the best lens is to use developmental models to answer your question, though I will say the assumptions in your question are only partially true. Your own experience might be giving you the impression it’s “most”

              If we consider developmental needs, child take a long journey from being totally dependant at birth to being totally independent, usually by their early twenties on average.

              Individual stories vary but one part of that process of individualization is pushing back and creating friction between the existing power structures and themselves.

              It’s why teenagers are so famously, and seemingly, unnecessarily hostile especially to parents and authority.

              Its a short answer to a complex question, does that give you something to go on?

              Its a part of growing up, happens in every generation, even if it looks a bit different each time

      The drive to extract profit makes us become resentful of having to do it. If it was a hobby, driven only by desire, it will never feel like work.

    Is this the guy who broke Jake Paul’s jaw?

    It might be the other brother, I don’t care to keep up.

    This sorta implies athletes don’t “work”. You do not reach this level without working your ass off.
