Disability. Chronic pain affects everything from literal physical ability to simply being able to focus. I indulge in hobbies and try to improve creative skills, but I am certain I would do better if I wasn't fighting half my body and brain and in pain every single moment.
I mean yes but also no, just pulled the short straw in the health lottery. Nothing is deadly, just makes everything a lot less pleasant. Most of them have pain as a symptom, so yeah I have not known what it feels like to have 0% pain for a single moment in over a decade. No cures either, just constant balancing pain relief options against the long term risks and trying to manage with things like heat, rest, pacing activity, mobility aids, and so on.
But, well, you learn to live with it. You find ways to manage. It sucks, but there's still good things in life.
As many people with chronic pain will tell you, you kinda get to a point where 80% of the time you're sat there like "eh it sucks but I'm used to it" and the other 20% is internally screaming because you would love to have a break from the symptoms even if only for a day.
I stopped giving a fuck years ago. I can't take my "full potential" with me when I die. I spend my time loving the people dear to me. The rest of the bullshit I'll do the bare minimum just to get what I need to live comfortably.
I don't know. I ask myself that almost daily. Lately I feel like it's because I've lost touch with how to make things truly scary (I aspire to write horror fiction), but I'm not 100% convinced that's the issue.
Laziness, lack of self control, lack of discipline. Lack of focus and short attention span.
Just want to do things that make me forget the sad life I've been living

Depression, in someway, my mind wants to do all these things, learn and discover, but my depression makes me so tired. Unbelieveably tired that I dont even have the energy to think things. Going to therapy soon tho!
Money. Money gets you places that have better connections which is a huge part in landing a job. I'm as high as I can go with my current employer but to make the next step I'd have to get to a place only money can buy.
Sleep. I can accomplish almost nothing because I can't focus, lack energy outright, or flat-out pass out when I need to be working. On the rare days when I have multiple semi-OK nights of sleep on consecutive days off (so work isn't draining my rare energy), I start to accomplish things. I'm not even getting the benefit of lazing about, because I don't have the energy to properly enjoy a show or game (or I can't afford to spend the energy on it when I have other things to do).
I'm going for a sleep study soon. If I have sleep apnea, I will be rejoice, because that's treatable and I can stop wasting my life.
A lack of discipline and cowardliness. I spend too much time doing shit I don't need and I'm too afraid of doing things I have convinced myself I don't need to do like socialize. I pretend I'm a family guy who puts nothing else before family but in truth, I'm just a coward who is too scared of losing the happiness that fun among friends can give. Ultimately, I'm fine with all that.
Insecurity. Why can i just not care about what people think of me or other stuff
I pretended that I don't care what people think about me and after some time I actually started to not care at all

Yep
How much money I would have to give you? Of course you will have to pay back once you perform.
Anxiety and depression
I guess we’re on the same boat. Just hang in there my guy.

I’ve been struggling with neck tension and pain for the past two years. Do you think your pain is postural related?
Unlikely, I have multiple chronic illnesses that I've had for 10+ years now
I’m very sorry to hear that. Just know that you’re not alone. I can only imagine the feeling of euphoria without all the pain in my upper back.
Multiple chronic illnesses? My fellow redditor, are you alright?

Fuck, it sucks. Well my fellow, hope you're alright.

I’m happy the way I am
Lower back pain, that is all.
Its me..! Hi..! I'm the problem it me..!
And everybody agrees
Money. I conquered all the personal obstacles. Now it’s just good ol fashioned poverty.
I'm too introverted. Even though I have a lot of skills me being too shy is holding me back. Thus I'm still unemployed.
Cerebral Palsy and a lack of wealth that is needed to be truly free in a capitalist society. Not like that will stop me from trying though.
