Reply to comment by eternalankh in Having no break from work is depressing, but having no work is very boring. by StringIsNullOrEmpty

I didn't work last year. Unfortunate circumstances, but I lived at my moms unemployed for a year.

Was never bored. Kept myself busy. Learnt so many skills that I was proud of.

I never understood the concept of "oh I'm not working so I'm bored."

I mean its clearly brainwashing. Why would you think about going to a job when you are bored? Its like choosing to watch paint on a wall dry other than being happy.

Personally, I'm really bad at motivating myself to do anything if, in my head, I don't "have to". When I have a job, I "have to" work. I like working just to get out of the house regularly. I work for family though and also enjoy the company of my coworkers a lot, so maybe not the normal circumstances but still.
