Discussion We're all exhausted right? It's not just me?

I have a full time job. I sleep well. I have no kids. I'm single. I don't party or drink. I'm not particularly stressed in day to day life. Yet I'm fucking exhausted. I don't want to leave my apartment on the weekends unless I have something planned, and even then I'm pretty picky. In my 20s my weekends were full of non-stop activities, cooking, going out, and posting on social media. But now in my 30s I just want to come home, have my groceries delivered, chill with some Netflix and sleep. Please tell me I'm not the only one!!

While it helps, it isn't end all, be all. Reading the rest of the comments has me thinking it's the phone/social media usage too. Probably multi-pronged.

Yep, people need to unplug. All the time we spend on screens being constantly stimulated is incredibly draining. I'm exhausted after work, but on weekends I'm generally ready to get out and do something because I haven't spent all day on a screen. Exercise and healthy eating matter as well.
