This is going to sound really fucking obnoxious but here goes

Actually put effort into your work, then you won't feel like shit when you are praised because it will be well deserved.

If you can't do this, then you deserve to feel like a fraud.

Use your position to help others, family.

there is no such thing as justice, so there is no point in feeling one way or another about your luck
alternatively, you can trade your guilt for the knowledge that when something terrible inevitably does happen to you, you will be supremely unprepared to deal with it, having never experienced hardship
alternatively, just donate your undeserved salary to /r9k/ NEETs

It's something of a cop-out, but I genuinely feel I can't. I've spent the last 24 years of my life seeing the hours of 9-5 as useless wasted time that I should do anything in my power to get through without tedium. The only way I can work is if there's real deadline pressure, I'm sleep deprived, and half my blood is caffeine.

>alternatively, you can trade your guilt for the knowledge that when something terrible inevitably does happen to you, you will be supremely unprepared to deal with it, having never experienced hardship
This is always a fear, but not one I think has any real grounds. I've got enough in savings to maintain my lifestyle without a job for at least 6 months and even if I got blacklisted in the industry I could still very very easily get a job with family contacts or as support in any big box store or office.

Man, I miss when weed would kill my anxiety instead of just making things more fun.

Are you honestly begging for failure? Pathetic. Grass is always greener eh? Don't worry man, your time to suck will come. The higher you climb, the harder you'll fall

I'm not begging for failure, that would be idiotic.

I suppose I just can't come to grips with the utter lack of justice in life; by my own standards I SHOULD fail and it would be right and just that I fail but I continue to succeed.

I shouldn't get to coast through life because I'm smart and can fake a smile

Yea the world is fucked
If you really felt bad about it you would do SOMETHING not just sit on 4chan blogging so this isn't an issue

>implying I haven't actually thought about it
I came to the conclusion that anything I could do would be far too little far too late; the major issues of our time were decided by my parent's generation.

You're smarter than this post. Lazy as hell but smarter. Really take a look at the world, the times, your skills and think bigger. We're living in just as an important time as your parents, to say otherwise is ignorant. There's always more you can do and things waiting for people to change them. I really think you just don't care enough and that's fine, just don't complain about it.

Well - people are ridiculously vulnerable to marketing/propaganda these days. I suppose that's something that could realistically be tackled.

You're not wrong that I'm lazy as shit though

I'm in the same boat but I doubt you're as smart as you think. Maybe you're just lucky. I just put the exact amount of effort required all the time but I didn't get kicked out of college.

What I do sometimes is think of less fortunate people who might be poor or having a hard time. It's easy to take a lot of things in life for granted, anon.

One of the problems is that I am that smart. My IQ tests between 138 and 146.

Just be glad you're not in an identical situation with a lower level of success.

How the fuck do I keep doing this
