Well... ultimately, that's up to you. But here's the thing: an object (or a pattern of social expectations and behavior) at rest will tend to remain at rest, as one in motion will tend to remain in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force.
It's kind of silly to complain about the results when you could BE that outside force. By way of illustration, a gift: https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/1718/pg1718.txt Chesterton's Manalive, which it sounds like you need right about now. Don't worry- it's in the public domain, and it's not very long.
And for what it's worth, I hope that this is a happy birthday for you, and that you learn the mystical art of transforming into a giraffe.
