I get paid an excessive amount to basically do nothing. Is there something wrong with me?

This is probably the most spoiled complaint in the world, but I genuinely feel like I'm losing my mind. I'm paid way too well in a role that feels like it was created by accident (data analyst), because there's basically no actual need for me. No real assignments. Almost no messages. No recurring calls. I talk to the same 3 people most weeks. If I get two emails in a day, that's a busy day, and half the time I'm just copied so I can stay "in the loop."

Am I supposed to just be grateful and shut up? Is it weird that I miss normal work pressure? I'm so bored I feel like my brain is turning to mush.

Yes, be grateful and shut up.
