[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am somewhat similar (but a woman) and I think it’s anxiety coupled with a number of failures/disappointments in life.
For me it was child rearing, abusive marriage, divorce, immigration issues, then covid related layoff two years into my return to the workforce. My confidence is crushed and I really have no energy for the corporate bull [/quote]

But he’s “carefree” and “very positive “ . There’s also nothing —that we know of — that suggests failures or disappointments. Why do you think this suggests anxiety?

I know a nearly 50 year old woman who checks he op’s boxes. She has anxiety and ADD. She didn’t do well in school, but she’s extremely well-read. She bounces between living with her parents and stints with her own place. Has periodically had low-key jobs in service industry, but mostly doesn’t work at all. She’s now on ssdi for her underlying anxiety and another condition that isn’t visible to others (and most who have it actually work withoit issue). I wonder what will happen to her when her parents die and she blows through their money.

When she was in her 20s, I considered her a free spirit (backpacking in Europe, etc and living on islands, etc. bartending). Now I just think she’s checked out of life and personal responsibility. [/quote]
