        for a week or two yes, but once the novelty of just chilling runs out you start feeling like shit

          People who need work always assume everyone else is like them, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar or defective person. Like morning people, or sports people.

          I would happily spend the rest of my life not working.

            But presumably you don’t just stare at the wall. “Humans need something to do” is mainly bound to not just sitting around twiddling your thumbs. It’s the reason we get bored, the brain is annoyed at not having anything to focus on.

            It doesn’t have to be literal work, just something you find engaging, be it going for a run, tending to houseplants, or completing your entire video game backlog.

            And of course there is variation between humans. Some people cope well with having little to do, others always need to do something they find productive.

              I’m pretty sure no one at all was talking about literally doing nothing, because what a stupid scenario to even consider
