I wouldnt consider myself a busybody, but sometimes I think myself-conciousness causes me the need to constantly be doing something. Especially at work. Its like, sometimes when there is no real work to do I find myself at a loss, but as long as my coworkers arent doing anything either I feel OK.
The problem is when my coworkers are busy doing stuff and I have absolutely nothing to do. It makes me feel guilty that I am just sitting there browsing the internet or on my phone and those around me arr doing stuff. I know sometimes the roles are reversed, but it doesnt make me feel any better to think about it that way. What do you guys suggest I do? BTW I have been told I a can be overly helpful so asking if they want my help is out of the question. If they really wanted my help they would ask, and honestly lately no one seems to need it.

I feel the same way. I'm usually doing two things at once and feel really bad when I have run out of something to do. It drives me crazy.

It is not that we feel bad...........I think it makes us feel useless because maybe we just do not feel like we are good enough for to begin with or we feel worthless and by always doing it helps ease that feeling.

This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors. |

I was laid off from a job where I had nothing to do all day. I don't want to freak ppl out, but maybe it's a good idea to look around for another job. The busy jobs have been the ones where I found long term employment.

Try to do some tasks around the workplace that tend to get ignored: dusting, watering plants, clearing out files, clearing junk out of your inbox. You'll only find so much before you can't come up with anymore ideas, but maybe it'll help some. It's important to keep the mind busy...at least in my case.
