Why the constant carelessness and effort to be a functional person?

Because that is part of something that is called living.

Of course, if you do drugs, you are mostly a person that is non functional and trying to find enough money to buy the next fix will have you try to be functional for a few minutes in a day, long enough to try to find where you will steal enough money to get your next fix so that you can vegetate for the next 22 hours until you start that vicious circle over again.

For normal people, there is no need to make much of an effort to be functional.

It's just how some people are.

Because what our parents did to become adults doesn't work any more, and they couldn't advise us meaningfully for how our lives would be... so the last few generations have been thrown into it blind.

Shit question. Sounds like a four year old is trying to repeat something their parents said.

Your feelings are a signal. They're telling you that you're stretched thin. It is not normal, and most people are not like that at all. Seek therapy.
