Is it normal to not like working?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, it’s normal not to enjoy working. Plenty of people work for the paycheck rather than because they love the job, though how you feel can depend a lot on the workplace and the kind of work you do.

You don’t have to be passionate about your job to be a perfectly normal person. Work takes time and energy, and lots of people would rather spend both on other things. For many, a fair paycheck and decent coworkers are plenty of reason to show up.

There’s a difference between not loving work and feeling miserable or drained all the time. If the job itself is the problem, a different role, schedule, or workplace might make a real difference. And if you just don’t dream of working, congratulations: you’re in very ordinary company.
