Is it normal to hate working?
Yes, it’s normal to hate working sometimes—or even to dislike the whole idea of having to work. It’s worth noticing whether the feeling is about your current job or whether work is leaving you constantly drained and miserable.
You’re not required to find work fulfilling. Plenty of people would rather spend their time elsewhere, and boredom, stress, low pay, bad management, or just needing a paycheck can make work feel like a chore instead of a calling.
People differ: some genuinely enjoy their work, while others mainly value the money, routine, or time off it provides. If you hate your particular job, it may be the job; if you dread every day and feel worn down even outside work, that’s a sign to look at what could change—your workload, boundaries, or job situation. You don’t have to love working to be a perfectly normal person.
