I work a rather demanding job and I’ve constantly been feeling tired and underperformant compared to my colleagues for the past few months. I keep evading responsibilities or putting them off until the last minute.
Many people would kill to be where I am. Yet, I show up every day unmotivated.
There were several stressful years leading up to my current job and I’m wondering if I’m burnt out at this point or if I’m just not pulling my weight.
Edit: Thank you all for your support and guidance. I haven’t given too many details here, but personal life has been moving along smoothly, chores get done, etc. But I definitely need to reconsider where I’m going with my job.
Sorry, misread your comment; “laziness doesn’t exist” is a decent maxim to go by in the current capitalist paradigm. Any time I’ve “chosen” to be “lazy”, it’s been motivated by a ton of other external factors, and amounts more to self-care. Any time I’ve seen a person or a demographic accused of “laziness”, the accusation fails to consider material conditions. I will acknowledge the possibility of true laziness, but do not feel it is remotely a common occurrence despite the frequency of laziness allegations.
