Why We Brag About Being Busy

[Parker]

^^ this

but also it seems that humans possess this inert desire to show the others how important and how much of a success we are.  Look at me "I am so important and needed that I don't have time for anything else".  "My job needs me, look at how much work they are giving me".

I read somewhere that on their death bed no human has ever complained about not work more.  Find a hobby that brings some level of joy and do it as often as you can without hurting yourself and your family life.

Could be that making oneself seem "busy" to others is to feed their own ego...their own self importance. Because they may not want to admit that they are not as needed (busy) as they want others to believe.

Don't confuse being busy with being active.

Haven't had time to read a single fucking post from this thread. I'll be back when I retire. My fucking schedule is insane. I guess that's the price of being the boss.

I'm so busy, i'm running five gimmicks at once. Price of living the dream on getbig..

Come on, no one posting daily on getbig is really a busy or active person. People here know how to avoid labor and other people

That article is about instagramoholics and career people.. It only served to make lazy people good about being more lazy

I was unemployed for a while for first time in life. Made a point of saying I was busy soon as I got a job (then two) after. You feel like such a shit bag when you're unemployed (if you have any dignity) that you will use any chance to let people know you aren't a sponge and want to work. Didn't bitch about it, I've worked hard my whole life, moreso having to turn down social invites etc.
