why do we the things bad for us?

I see a friend that’s been away for too long.

She tells me what she’ll be doing in her new role and I’m too preoccupied with my issues to give what she’s doing some thought… until later after I get home. Wait… this doesn’t sound right. The plan was to move to another company with a better working hours and less stress. Why is she working for the same boss once again? Concerned, I plan to speak to her about it when I see her again.
