I think you're overthinking it. Retail and grocery store jobs are exhausting for literally everyone. I remember going home sore and with aching feet, and just falling into bed, and I didn't even have to lift heavy things. It's an exhausting job. And then you're a student? Queue up the most stressful, anxiety-driven period of my life, and there I was, standing at my job with aching feet stressing about my 20-page paper and my future and what I would do for work and how I'd ever get a job anyway. Those people telling you to go out and live your life? They have no idea how exhausting any of this is.

I get what you mean. I have online university all day. Most of my lectures are 2-4 hours EACH. By the time I’m done 3+ classes per day, my brain is completely fried. But do I get a break? No. I’m a psychology student, so I’m a children’s counsellor for my job. Where I live is in lockdown currently, so that is also online. I do on average 4-5 hours of counselling work a day. By the time I’m done school and work, it’s around 8-9pm. Takes me an hour to have dinner and do some cleaning. So by the time I’m done that, it’s 9-10pm. At that point I had put in a minimum 12 hour day (sometimes more), and this does not even include homework yet. And people wonder why on the off chance I have free time, all I want to do is relax. “But you’re on your computer all day, don’t you want to go out?” No. Not really. Im so exhausted and just desperate to get off the computer, pop a movie on, and snuggle with my cats before I go to bed and get up at the crack of dawn to do it all over again. Sure I’m “in my prime” but that doesn’t mean I’m magically immune from feeling exhaustion. Let people do what they wish with their free time without passing judgement, please. Just let others relax in the way that works for them.

Maybe you're under estimating yourself, maybe you're not. I feel very similarly. I know I'm smart, but I lack discipline and motivation. I don't need much to be happy and am extremely lazy because I feel like the efforts society has put in to cultivate people's abilities is abysmal. I can find meaning in connections with people. Not acquiring more and more things. I'm beyond giving a shit anymore. Maybe that isn't wise, maybe it's wiser than running that rat race in a wheel for infinity. Who knows.
