I only recently realized that external validation was essentially the only driving force in my life. Mostly winning and losing. The goal in life is to win! Preferably everything.

Of course, once you reach the adult world, it's literally impossible to "win".

This is possibly why my wife considers me lazy. I literally have no mainspring to drive my life anymore, ergo I have nothing to accomplish.
