    Work does feel good and I dont even like.my job that much. When i put in a good day at work or finish a project or something i feel good. If you dont thats a personal perspective issue. If you are so mad about other people preventing you from stealing food off their land you can get land for less than a bag of chips. There is so much rural land available where you can “work” till your hearts content.

      It could be ADHD too. It, other neurodevelopmental disorders, and affective disorders can affect how one feels about just about anything.

      I have ADHD and I derive nearly no pleasure from “a job well done” unless the outcome is directly and fairly immediately beneficial.

      Project completed at work? At most I’ll be relieved it’s done unless it shows off my skills, which I like - dopamine!

      Baked a cake? For myself, fuck yeah - dopamine! For someone else and I don’t get any? The forecast shows a light chance of a low pressure dopamine system entering the region this afternoon, depending on how much I like the person.

        As someone with severe adhd, I will absolutely maintain that it’s a mindset issue. I don’t think it makes it harder to derive pleasure from a job well done. I think it disrupts the ability to connect that feedback to doing that task in a way that changes the amount of effort to do that task again in the future

        I blew my dopamine circuits out with a meth addiction and have the same effects of ADHD now, which sucks because they can’t exactly put me on a stimulant for it. I drink coffee and smoke weed until I’m capable of accomplishing small tasks, and then build on those to occasionally have productive days.

          You just have to push through! Willpower!

          Just kidding, I hate that shit. Sorry to hear it, I can’t imagine how difficult that must be. I’ve never tried meth. It sounds like it’d be too much of what already works for me.

            I dont understand how you can think there are no cheap plots of land anywhere in the world? Do you really think people are paying big bucks for a plot of rural non agricultural land in any 3rd world countries. Go look at a property website theres plenty of decent property available.
