Down-vote me all you can, but OP's situation is most definitely self inflicted.

It's the same with drug addicts. They can't help it. You can be compassionate with them, but it won't help them. What they need is a kick in their arse to fling them out of their comfort zone and embrace the big changes.

Hopefully, OP's new job shall open his eyes and guide him in the right direction.

He does not seem to be handicapped neither mentally nor physically -- and there are millions of people in much more need than such a victim of procrastination.

Don't fret, OP'll be fine.



Do you think that making fun of people in desperate situations (for whatever reason) is the way to lead a virtuous life?


I think there's nothing wrong in making a joke, but not making fun of people. There is a difference, and I beg your pardon if you parsed mine as a latter.

Especially considering the fact that I went against the reddit traditions and added a "serious note" after the joke ;)

But oh well.
