That's because workaholics think they're normal and everyone else is lazy. In reality they usually either trying to hide from something in their personal life, or they really are just that boring of a person that they can't think of anything better to do than work.

This is not the same as being passionate, since that usually involves doing something for yourself rather than for another persons business.
