I’ve always found it odd when I hear people say this. I’m never quite sure how I’m supposed to take it. I live alone. I have like zero responsibilities outside of work. So in that regard, every single day I do “something nice” for myself. I get to eat whatever I want, watch whatever I want on TV, etc.

One “argument” I’ve heard that this is instead supposed to mean to like exercise or something, but I exercise is very unpleasant to me. I committed to consistent running for over a year and never enjoyed it lol. I feel similarly about all forms of exercise.

I dunno. What am I missing here? Is telling people to do something nice for themselves reserved for people with heavy responsibilities like children and such? Because I don’t understand why people would tell me to do that to myself or how I am supposed to apply that. Existing with high freedom and low responsibilities seems pretty nice to myself so I don’t get it.

Am I just dumb lol?
