Sorry for the bad title, I have no idea how to 1 sentence summarize this. This is something I have always wondered and need a human response, not a googled one.
Am I the only one that just like, can't be happy at work? I feel like I'm broken in brain chemestry wise, like I cannot release a single nice feeling chemical at work. Every job I've had, I just want to get home. Some have been nice jobs, some have been crappy. Great days, bad days, party days, free days, any of them, I just wanna leave.
I see coworkers smiling and having fun, I've heard stories from coworkers that they come to work to keep busy and get out of the house, and they genuinely (not masked) seem at least satisfied to spend time there. They enjoy being busy, they like their jobs, ect.
I feel like I've never felt this way. I hate getting up, I hate scheduling around work, I hate not having control of my time, and I hate being there. It feels like a massive waste of my time and I always just want to go home asap, I don't care if we are getting a "free day", just talking with eachother, having cake, laughing, ect. I wanna go home, I have stuff to do and I wanna hang out with my friends.
The reason I bring this up is I need to start working again soon after taking a hiatus for myself, and I just can't decide what I wanna do. I cannot go back to watching the clock for 9+ hours a day wishing my life away when it seems everyone else is fine to be there.
edit: Sorry, this is my bad. I should have said yeah, dream jobs would be the exception, but that's not obtainable for most of society.
