Is this normal?

I hate the concept of working. Now, that doesn't mean that I hate the idea of working hard and being productive, I would just rather do it on my own terms. I am going to be 36 years next month. I have lived with moderate OCD and anxiety, ADD, and Tourettes for my entire life. Working 40 hours a week, being tied down to someone else's timetable and working for someone's else's expectations and quotas can be depressing and soul crushing. The worst thing about working? Coworkers. I hate the idea of getting up, going to work and interacting with people who are, for the most part largely toxic and immature. I don't interact with these people outside of work, and I keep up the necessary facade of professionalism and courtesy because I have to work with them, but I have to wonder......is it absolutely necessary to be two-faced, gossipy, and back stabbing as adults? Again, I'm in my mid-30s......I hated, HATED that shit in high school and my tolerance for it as an adult is far less than it was in high school. On the clock, I don't care what problems or damages someone has, I don't care which coworkers hate each other nor do I care what reason they hate each other, I already don't want to be there eight hours a day, putting up with drama makes it more unbearable. I would love to be able to work part time and support myself and my family on that. Life is short and it shouldn't be wrong to want to enjoy it and spend time with those you love and want to be around and experiencing what life has to offer with them. I don't know what job would be good for me, but I know that I am not happy one bit with the daily grind.

What do you all think? Anybody else hate working?

I hate it too. I work a regular 8 hour shift job but then I know that's not enough to pay bills so I'm thinking about getting a part time job or something. But yes co workers are annoying. I work with this really fat gay dude and he literally does nothing but yell like an idiot and be lazy and he smells really bad too on top of that
