It's a strange thing..

I think.

I finally know, maybe guess, why workaholics do what they do.

My own theory - they choose to pour out their entire life into working, albeit subconsciously, let their work wholly define their identity.

At least it (moderately) substitutes the lack of a social life, and they don't have to worry about it. Keeps them occupied and they can avoid the disturbing thoughts anyway.

I sound so much like a psychodynamic supporter now but sometimes I think I can identify with their views. A little too much.
