The Irony Every weekend, or on any holiday I feel Irony. I like to lie on my bed and chilling and I love sleep late and wake up late. Sleeping long makes me stressed out. At the same time, however, I feel guilty for doing nothing. This is an irony. I want to sleep and rest, but feel guilty for being lazy. Today, I thought of going to see a movie which my favorite actor appears in but I gave up with bothering. I put off something to do and I have to do tomorrow so I'm going to be busy tomorrow. How ridiculous I am! Fortunately, I did some simple household chores. I decided to writing English sentences but I come close to forgetting it if I haven't opened my laptop. Doing something hard is bothering but doing nothing makes me guilty.

"Irony" is a difficult thing to understand in English. Many native speakers also don't know how to use it correctly. I recommend this website --> https://www.dailywritingtips.com/what-is-irony-with-examples/ since it explains it very well.

Irony is not something that people FEEL such as happiness or sadness. BUT, people can FEEL the irony of a situation.

Here are some examples of ironic situations:

"I am a doctor, but I'm afraid of blood."

"A police station gets robbed."

"I went outside to get some sunlight, but then it started to rain."

"I started a diet and ate some salad with ALOT of (unhealthy) sauce."

Irony is when the opposite of what you expect happens.

I don't think your situation can be described as "ironic." It can be described as feeling guilty, or procrastinating
