You’re Not Lazy. The System Is Rigged Against You.

Описание: If you are doing everything right—working hard, saving money, staying disciplined—but still feel a quiet, persistent hollowness, you are not broken. You are reacting to a broken structure.

I work as a substance abuse counselor, and lately, I’ve noticed a pattern. The same emptiness I usually see in people whose lives have collapsed is now showing up in people whose lives look perfect on paper. This video is a report from inside that problem.

We’re going to break down the four structural reasons why effort no longer feels like it’s leading anywhere, and why that "emptiness" is actually a rational signal from your brain.

It’s not a lack of gratitude. It’s a lack of trajectory.

About me: I’m a 24-year-old working in recovery and mental health. I fought addiction, rebuilt my life, and now work with people trying to rebuild theirs. On this channel, I document my real-time process of building leverage, structure, and optionality outside the traditional path. This is not hustle culture or doom content. It’s a field report on adapting intelligently to a system that changed.
