“You Work Too Much”
Summary
- I often face criticism from family for working too much because they associate negative connotations with work.
- If I were to say I play video games all day, they'd argue I'm not working sufficiently, but it's based on their perception of what qualifies as work.
- The core of their criticism reflects their personal preferences for how they would like to see me live my life.
- I maintain my stance by not conforming to their expectations and choosing to live my life on my terms.

How To Take Action
A good way of doing things is to let go of worrying about what others think, especially family. If you work a lot and they say it's too much, remember they might not understand how you see your work. It's important to focus on what makes you happy and stick to your goals.
Here are some steps you can take:
First, think about why you love your work. Maybe it feels more like playing than working to you. That's a good sign you're doing what you love.
If family or friends don't get it, try to explain how you feel. Tell them your work makes you happy and it's what you want to do.
If they still don't understand, it's okay. You don't have to live your life the way they want. Do what's best for you.
Make sure to balance your time. It's important to work hard but also rest and have fun. Find a schedule that lets you do your best work and enjoy life.
Remember, you're the boss of your life. You get to decide how you work and live. Stay true to yourself and your dreams.
Sometimes people may worry because they care. Show them you're okay and your work doesn't make you unhappy. When they see you're fine, they might worry less.
Just keep your head up and keep going. It's your path, and you're the one walking it!
