I see memes and stuff about people doing this and I genuinely don’t understand the reason behind it

It is just part of their morning ritual.
I like to sit and drink my coffee after I eat breakfast. It is just a bit of Me time.
Yes, I like that too! Some people drink coffee for the caffeine. But honestly, I never really cared about that part. I just love waking up with enough time to relax a bit with a nice cup of Joe. :)
the meme is about how it can be hard to face the day given work/political concerns
Ahhhhh gotcha, I thought it meant something along the lines of that, thanks for your reply!
depression for me
Existential dread of facing the day?
Or is that just me?
More of an “overcome by anxiety and feelings of failure” for me.
It’s fun when it’s both.
That, and as an adhd-haver, my morning stims havent kicked in yet
Definitely not just you. There’s a lot of existential dread.
I have envied people who are fully aware and alert and ready when they wake up.
For me, it takes longer than a few minutes
I’m tired and can’t be bothered to get out of bed yet, need to wake up a bit more.
Sometimes I’m super groggy when my alarm wakes me up and it takes a while to adjust
Boot up
Sometimes you just take it all in that this is your life, this is your surroundings, and this is where you’ll be for the foreseeable future, just before you get up, to work, eat, and sleep.
I need some time to review the life choices that led me to this.
3/10, do not recommend
Review complete, the next 19 minutes will be spent processing existential dread.
I typically wake up dehydrated AF. So I wake up, drink the glass of water I set out next to me the night before, and wait to not feel like I have a whole ecosystem growing in my mouth. It’s 5-10 min for me, then it’s up, toilet, restart work laptop, make coffee, greet my Person, and finally login to work laptop for the work day. 8 second commute to my work desk is choice.
Seems like you need to drink more water during the day :)
For me it’s that when I drink 3L of water over the course of 16h, the dehydration after 8 hours of not drinking is such a stark difference that it’s uncomfortable.
In my case it just takes a while to get the gears running, but it’s usually 5 minutes at most
Not sure what memes you are referring to. Sometimes I sit or lie in bed for a bit to get my thoughts in order, process my weird dream, listen to the birds or just enjoy not having to be in a hurry. Sometimes I just want to postpone standing up because I know I will have to sit in front of the damn computer all day again. Sometimes I stand up immediately.
Tell us you don’t have a full time job without telling us.
