Do you feel you're co-dependent on your work?
 

sometimes i feel that i am.

Cassie,

I dont think we were formally introduced yet. I am Juicy , from the GFY welcoming committee. We need to see your tits please

Define co-dependent...

no.

lol cute :)

however i would much rather see man boobs...they just turn me on sooo much :Graucho

nice to meet you hun

co-dependent meaning that you need your work (and i'm not talking in a monetary way..that's a given) in order to say, survive a break up, take your mind off of something that is wrong in your life or just realizing that you would be totally board without it. with that last part i mean say you were to retire and you just KNEW that you didnt have to get up and work for the next 20 years, would you go out of your mind knowing that?

i know at times i am totally co dependent on my work and not in the sense that it brings this immense joy but just knowing that something is there...like a puupy for lack of better phrasing.

Actually, I think that internet work is different than actual work.

And if that point can be agreed on, then I would be inclined to agree that codependancy is possible and very easy to succumb to when it comes to "working" online.

The computer and all of it's monetary goodness is a great tool for abondoning self-awareness and losing your identity for little chunks of time.

Think about it...

It's a tad bit harder to remember things now than it used to be, is'nt it?

You are slipping away.

im dependant in terms of money, yes. without these sites i wouldn't have any money to pay my rent and would have to get a 'real' job. as for other ways, i find when im stressing over personal problems, relationship problems that i can't concentrate worth a fuck and not much gets done.

i totally agree with you on that. however most of us here have been in this line of work for quite some time now and this is our "job" (at least for me..i could never get up at 5am to be in work by 7am again).

i think co dependency (at least pertaining to work) is a fine line that is often crossed without knowledge. it's not like drugs, where one wakes up one morning and says what am i doing. being co dependent on ones work is never realized until sometime after (i am speaking personally...not for others).

those who seperate the two have it made but then again, those people may be co dependent on something else.

just my :2 cents:
