I always do vs I'm always doing
I always do (something) = I do it every time:
For example:
I always go to work by bus. (not I'm always going)
I'm always doing something has a different meaning.
For example:
- I've lost my key again. I'm always losing things.
I'm always losing things = I lose things very often, perhaps too often, or more often than normal.
- You're always playing computer games. You should do something more active.(=You play computer games too often)
- Jennifer is never satisfied. She's always complaining. (= She complains too much)
