"why can't you have a job like everyone else, you lazy slob, research isn't REAL WORK and everyone knows it."
ugh.
Not to take away from the other factors contributing to how you feel, but I really hate that this is the general attitude from society a lot of times. It's not true and I can sympathize from experience that it does not help. So when I tell you that you are anything but lazy, that you are brilliant and doing important work, please know that I am not saying it to make you feel better, but because it's true. That other crap is not. And if we had a healthy attitude towards art and knowledge, society would realize this.
