  wow i think this would win the prize for the most unpopular opinion i have ever seen on this sub. upvote
context: This is really quite sad, a place I used to be in myself where you don't really have an existence outside of work. My advice (that my therapist gave me and it worked) is to find things that I enjoy and focus on them. Work should be a distraction from your life not the other way around. I go paddle boarding most weekends in the summer and I build Lego and go to the woods for big walks in the winter. 
  Find what you love because work isn't life and when you get to middle age and realise that, you'll realise how much time you've wasted on meaninless things and want to focus on connection and experience instead. >
  
  I have felt like this before and things got better when I started making more time for myself. >
  
  You're doing weekends wrong >
  
  You’re doing comments wrong >
  
  So it seems 🤣 >
  
  So you hate having freedom? >
  
  Oof, life is your break not work... at this point you just  live for work, yikes >
  
  Your job must either be really fun or your not having fun ever >
  
  Is? >
  
  That’s the saddest thing I’ve read today >
  
  I look forward to work, and feel like weekends are unproductive. >
  
  Dude, find a hobby >
  
  yeah i'm with otherwise-extreme you need to reexamine your "work-life" balance if you spend all your personal time doing work and then look forward to relaxing at work >
  
  I'm sorry to say this but you sound like an unhappy individual, maybe even depressed. >
  
  If OP looks forward and enjoys the work week more, isn’t he/she enjoying the majority of the of weekly life?  Better than hating weekdays and only enjoying the weekends. >
  
  It's not about enjoying the majority of the week. What I understand from OP's post is that they see work as an escape from "life", which suggests denial and shutting down. >
  
  Yeah, but work is “life”, as well.  So, OP’s not escaping from life.  Maybe escaping from personal life in favor of a professional one; but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. >
  
  No, you missd what they meant. OP finds work to be and escape from life. This strongly suggests that they are "depressed" or in some other way unhappy with life. This shouldn't be the case. >
  
  You're doing weekends wrong >
  
  My problem with weekends is that the majority of people are not working so everything is a lot more crowded. I now work exclusively on weekends (F-Sun). Having four days off is the way to go. >
  
  I hear that. I do 4 on 4 off so get a mix of weekends with my girlfriend and weekdays to myself >
  
  Four 10s? I do three 12s. Those continental shifts would mess me up, but anything giving you four off days is better than anything else. >
  
  Two 10.5's and two 13.5's, days and nights >
  
  That’s a lot of working. >
  
  You're exactly a version of what this system wants And why they wanted to teach us for 12 years, how's caring less about your personal life a good thing >
  
  You sound like Bill from king of the hill >
  
  Nice try Elon
