Trying to stop being a workaholic
Hey guys, I’m a stocker at Walmart and I’m a workaholic. As you can tell, one of the reasons is money because I love to get paid more than my original salary. Fyi, I’m single and I don’t have many friends in this city. So I don’t have much of a social life. I thought that since I’m at this stage of my life where I have plenty of time in my hands, I should do more. Meaning work more. But recently, it’s getting to me. I miss going out with a couple of friends to have dinner. Even though I currently don’t have a lot of friends, I think I will make friends once I try to socialize more instead of working my a^s off. So I decided to do that. I’m not working more than 40 hours anymore. I want to make friends more than I want to make money. Well, at least for now.
I understand where you're coming from, but I don't agree. Respectfully
I respect and love your decision. You do you. Don’t listen to negative talk from no one since it’s YOUR life.
Suffering from success huh?

You’ll have enough time to make friends. I think it makes more sense to stay on that grind while you can. Because once you make friends or a romantic partner, it’s gonna be much harder since it will be hard to say no to them when they ask for your time.
