No, neoliberal is not all bad. There’s no other word to describe it than exhilarating if you can master it and successfully eat the costs.

I have some idea what they are for you, but more generally?
I suspect I’m really crappy at being a neoliberal (I’m not complaining… quite the opposite).
It seems a bit like being a stakhanovite for your own one person factory… which doesn’t appeal to me.

Totally, it’s being a Stakhanovite who is dedicated not to the socialist dream but to himself.
Right now at the meeting, we had a lot of breaks. People socialized on the terrace. I’m sure they enjoyed it. In the meantime, I was ticking items off my personal achievement list. After the meeting ends, everybody is staying for the reception. I’m leaving because I need to finish my step goal and do my German exercises. In case people think I’m complaining, I’m in paradise doing all this. I finally found a way not to feel like a weirdo and an outcast. I’m avoiding the reception not out of inferiority but because I’m playing a game and winning.
I have the specific neuroses that make this enjoyable. But for a person without them? It’s lonely, depressing, isolating and exhausting.
Loved this question and the Stakhanovite metaphor. I so want to use it in my book, this is torture.
