Not looking forward to it. Mostly the , how were your holidays? Guess if I just say fine, that will be acceptable. I hate how I'm constatnly lying about how I feel and pretending everything is fine just to be polite.

I hate my job, but then I've hated every job I've ever had, so what's the difference. My boss knows I don't like my job and is like, "is there anything we can do to help." There isn't anything really. I just would like to not have to get up everyday. That would be better. I hate life. It's nothing but a miserable uphill struggle.

Is anyone actually happy? What the hell is happiness?

It's nice to hear that your boss is at least concerned for you.

Some people go through their lives pretending to be happy, I like that you are not afraid of expressing your unhappiness.

I think maybe, happiness is when you enjoy what you are doing.

That's why I stay. I don't really enjoy the work, but I get treated with respect and my work is appreciated. Maybe I'm too much of a perfectionist. I feel like my work isn't good, but my boss is usually happy with it. I don't think it actually has to be good quality as long as it ticks all the boxes and the clients are happy.

Maybe if I had a life outside of work I would be happier. I just feel like I get up, go to work, come home, eat and go back to sleep.

I used to have friends, but I've sort of lost my confidence and don't contact them anymore. They can't miss me, they don't contact me, so I feel like what's the point bothering people that don'e want or need me around anyway.

I feel exactly the same. I'm never happy about my work, even though I'm getting regular pay raises and top level management praises our products.

They probably think the same way about you. :) And even if they really don't miss you, it doesn't mean that nobody would miss you. Could you try meeting someone new?
