It's funny that you bring up taking things too seriously as I feel I do the opposite, that is not taking anything seriously and always joking, which is something I have been trying to change recently. I too feel unproductive and that I should be doing SO much more with my time and with my life, yet things don't seem to change for one reason or another. One possible excuse I have been using is that "there is no point in opening up to another as they won't understand me or act sensitively or maturely enough to those things which are most important to me". I feel almost parasitic at times and that I don't contribute anything of worth or value to others and the world. I've been meaning to start journaling regularly for the longest time now, but I just can't keep it up whenever I start. I don't know how some people manage to write so much and so often.
