Is Being Unproductive Bad? Join the Debate at FriendZone
Summary
FriendZone | Make Friends ⋅ Fun Chill Active Chat ⋅ VC Social Gaming ⋅ Memes ⋅ Nitro Emojis ⋅ Anime hosts a deep community discussion on the societal pressure to be constantly productive. This thread explores whether it is okay to be purposeless and how to overcome the guilt associated with downtime. It is a perfect example of the engaging, thought-provoking conversations that happen daily in our active social hub.
What is wrong with not being productive, why do we have to do anything at all? Why can’t we just lie down and nothing great and not feel guilty. Is it necessary to have a purpose in life? Can life just not be enjoyed by shit content? If yes, why do majority of people feel guilty about it.
Is it really that bad to be unproductive ?
Well you see everything in this life has a purpose even a bacteria that is so small you can't see with the human eye has purpose so why you the human with the great mind and complex thoughts don't have a purpose??
No I am not talking about human beings as a race. Sure we, "the species" has prupose. But individually having purpose that I want to do something, get a job or be better at this, taking stress and anxiety for the smallest of things.... Arghhh....
It should be okay to be happy and purposeless. We measure happiness by success and success by a specific set of paraemetrs, when happiness comes from within
One can be unproductive and perfectly content and happy, is what I a trying to say.
I guess it is
Who's going to provide for you?
Ofc I am not talking about the whole entire life peopleeeeeee!!!
I am talking about thoughts like this, that I am going to a college class and doing a job or soemthing, but the rest of the day also there is a serious need for being productive with people
Or feeling guilt if you are not productive
I don't ☝understand
I am talking about the feeling that being ‘unproductive’ is bad.
Unproductivity can be outside of work too.
Nothing wrong with being unproductive if you and your loved ones don't have a problem with it!!
It's your life why not live it, but only if you are sure that it won't effect you badly!!!
People feel guilty thinking what they can and could achieve, and if they are questioning themselves, I think they should work for a better life because that surely will make them happy.
Sometimes it's an ethical crime, I'd say to not improve- you can hurt yourself and your loved ones(many people who do not grow tend to find other things to blame and can become too miserable thinking about themselves all the time).
"People when decide not to grow they do not remain constant(like we think they should) they degrade"- a very famous observational statement!!!!
exactly what am doing since last 3 years..not recomended🥹
Lets take a step back here
First thing is though
We weren’t forced to even be born into this world to begin with
Honestly like if you’re unproductive
Without having to deal with any obligations, nor having to pay back debt, nothing whatsoever
You’re a free person to do whatever the fuck you wanna do whether its unproductive or whatever
Like you’re a free person without no bs around you
Well.. really good words and I agree to most of it. I just feel soemtimes that it is totally unnecessary to feel anxiety or sadness or any sort of negative emotion for what could have been. Sure, it hels us do better, but if the goal in life is to be happy, why not be successful today. 
But I agree with what you said.
Exactllyyy
Yessss the freedom it brings from all the societal expectations, from truly pursuing something you like instead of what you are supposed to do. We are not truly free right now.
I am suddenly reminded of One Piece
Yeah you speak so true!!
But as our mind is we keep thinking about stuff all the time lol.
I have done a lot of research this problem and the core solution I found was" the person who keeps thinking about himself/herself will be the most miserable".
The people who just learn to live life by seeing things other than themselves and enjoy it as it is- its adventures, it's gifts, it's curses, it's pains and problems... enjoys the most satisfactory and free life!!!!
mhm another one
