Most people are in survival mode, and it's a socially vulnerable thing to admit you don't like the work. It requires a level of safety, by being honest about it and supportive of others hopefully we can get to the point where we can collectively acknowledge them and maybe try to address them.

It's also just not fun to think about why life sucks, and it makes life a little harder to begin with I think. So it requires some tact. People bringing it up as a subjective and personal take that they just want to share, as opposed to an objective fact that needs to change, has made it easier for me to take others more seriously in this area.

Sorry you felt like the minority, hope you can get to/create an environment where you feel better understood.
