I don't like taking vacations; is this crazy?

Question

I'm so addicted to routine and schedule, it's scary. I'm in love with work and money and love to work long hours at my job. I even frown upon taking breaks, and view being completely off from my job more than two days in a row as a death sentence. When I get my first full time job with benefits, I won't use my paid vacation, and I never plan on retiring. Last May, my family begged me to go with them on vacation to North Carolina for about a week. I told them no; I stood home and made lots of money at job working all seven days a week and it felt good. Whenever I'm on vacation, I pretty soon start to freak out and start thinking about work, school, and other things. It's like I basically put my social and leisure life on hold for some odd reason. What could this mean, have I gone crazy? What does everyone else think?

Answer 1

You are soooo not crazy. You love work, and school. You have a different view than what other people have. For me it is nice to hear that. All I hear is

'I hate school! I dont want homework!" Blah blah blah.

I dont see it as you do. But I dont hate it.

You are a very organized girl. That will get you into some great colledges and jobs open. Keep working the way you want to work. And remember.....

YOU ARE NOT CRAZY

Answer 2

Work is predictable and controllable by you.  Work does not require an emotional commitment on your behalf, nor does it open you up to getting hurt.  Sounds like you a committed individual, but you are scared of the emotional side of commitment.

Answer 3

You are too driven by the need to succeed...you had better change before it's too late. A forced vacation is in order.  

Answer 4

you know the expression, "All work and no play..."
