Also throw “quiet quitting” into this as well and you have a society whose standards drop even further. This over correction of stress does no one any good long term. The last 20+ years of self help has really done a number on us.
Bed-rotting: Yes. It is a thing. Mostly done as a form of extreme self care to escape the stress from work or life in general.
How is it self-care to curl up in bed all day and not do anything? Even when I'm sick, i try to get out of bed. As soon as my body wakes up, I'm trying to get out of bed.
I might sit in front of the computer or watch TV, or read a book, but it's never in bed.
Time blindness: As a German, this drives me crazy. Like batshit crazy. I mean, Germans are known for being on time all the time.
My grandad and great grandad and everyone on my dad's side came from Germany, so I'm in your boat. On time is late, 30 minutes early is acceptable, and hour is fine. I can't stand people that show up at exactly the moment they are supposed to punch the clock., and people that are late...don't get me started.
