Hahaha, your sarcastic style really shines through this one. I might not be American, but I could relate to some much of what you shared. Really, why must everything be turned into a skill?

I think it's this constant drive to pursue more we've instilled in ourselves. Hustling, grinding, life optimization, "hacking" the latest productivity trend. Whatever name it goes by, I think it all ties in to why many people feel like they're constantly having to do something and have it contribute to the overall whole. It's really hard for everyone to disconnect and just stare at a cloud anymore, and I include myself in that.
