Do you think people who are lazy want to be lazy? Im lazy but I dont want to be lazy. I just get bored of what I do after a few minutes. I cant help it. I wish I wouldnt get bored of what im doing. I get bored of what Ienjoy. I guess the only thing thats gonna make me dosomething the whole way throughis the fear of wasting my life getting bored of stuff.

I think people who are lazy are too lazy to give a **** if they're lazy.

I'm lazy, I don't want to be lazy, but not to the point where it'll keep me from being lazy. I'll always do the bare minimum effort that I think I need to do as long as it fits my standards.

No, some people are just too lazy to try and stop being so lazy.

I'm lazy, but it's not like I want to be this way. I'm just to lazy to make an effort to actually do something about my laziness.

They dont choose to be. That be like a guy with a broken leg choosing not to run. They could run and ignore the pain but they choose not to.

Are you comparing a broken leg (a real handicap) to laziness???

Wow. ...well, TBH, I am not surprised. Psychologically speaking, people will use any number of 'defense mechanisms' in order to avoid unpleasant thoughts (especially when they pertain to that person and their sense of self). The mind does not like dealing with things that are unpleasant and perpetual. So it will do things to 'get rid of' the stressors (even though they are not actually gone). So I guess this was to be expected given the topic at hand

Not always. I think it starts out with wanting to be lazy, but then becomes a habit that they don't necessarily enjoy. Like smoking.

I have found that expectations only lead to disappointment.

Yes. They choose to be lazy. And if they really didn't want to be lazy, then they could stop.

I work out 4 times a week.

I have to get my masters in buisness and economics.

And i have 2 part time jobs as well.

I dont think im lazy, just ambitious.

ANyways, there is no thing like wanting to be lazy, those who do, are only ignorant of themselves and have yet to realize it.

He did not say it was easy in his post. Though, TBH, change is not nearly as hard as people make it out to be. ...they usually just enjoy being comfortable in their ways too much. Not that there is anything wrong with that. The only thing that bothers me is when people b**** and moan about stuff they could change

Well put. I also think environment and ones situation in life had a lot to do with it. Until recently I lived in Michigan. Work was at an all time low, so all I did was sit at home and play video games for weeks at a time. I never helped around the house, my own personal living space was a mess.

Finally decided enough was enough. I moved down to Arizona with a friend, got a nice apartment, going through a series of job interviews for a good job, and in the meantime doing what I can to be useful. Not because I feel I owe my friend, who has helped me out immensly, but because I want to. This place is my home now, it's mine. I find when something is yours, when you don't have to answer to anyone but yourself, you tend to be far less lazy about things.

Lazy people just need a good strong leader to follow and they would not be lazy anymore.
