Do you know someone Genuinely Lazy?

I am a lazy person, at least I am the type of person who does only what is necessary and I hate to do physical work. In our culture it is considered to be lazy for not doing works in the house. It is true that I do a few works at home, but only when I am asked by my parents. Otherwise I will not do so much. My mother always says that it is hard to find a person that is more lazy than me. But if I find a work that I enjoy I will do it, but this is very rare. And I don't like to do study so hard neither, only what is necessary.

Yep, me! I retired early and grew very lazy. I do manage to get the laundry caught up and keep things half way in order at home but it's done at my convenience. No rush anymore which is nice. Medically I am ok so know there's nothing wrong in that department that would prevent me from doing things. Nice to have all the freedom in the world. Kids are grown, not working........Nice!

Yes, I know one genuinely lazy person. Myself. Of course, if you know someone who's actually tired, than calling them lazy doesn't help.

Sometimes it is depression as well. In my case, I may look like I am lazy, but I am just unorganized and sometimes do not get anything done because I do know what to do first. Overwhelmed, I guess would be a way to describe it. I really know very few people who really are lazy. It is more some of these other problems and you are right, they would be better served by people helping and encouraging them.

I know lazy people but it's basically more on their interests. If they're not interested on doing something they don't do it therefore being labeled 'lazy'. Generally, if you know what the person's interests are, you can make him do what you tell him to by using it as a thumbscrew.

I don't think people are "lazy" as much as they have different priorities. Perhaps some people think a house should be as neat as a pin all the time, but other people that time spent cleaning and tidying would be better spent having fun with their kids. So, maybe the house is a little messy, and other people call them "lazy" for it, but they work hard at a job and want to enjoy family time when they come home! There are very few people who don't have at least one thing they are willing to put effort into.

you right about them, encourage them is better instead let them being lazy. this one is positif feedback! for positive an outcome.

I don't really think that tired and lazy is the same thing. You see, my mom can be tired from all of the work she does but she still does all this work around the house, because she can't stand if something's out of place. me on the other hand, I'm just lazy. I just can't be bothered to do stuff. Like I wouldn't be bothered if there was a pile of dirty dishes in the sink. I sometimes get so lazy I pull out dishes from the cupboards that we never use , just not to clean up the dirty dishes, and by cleaning up I mean putting them into a dishwasher. I'm not proud of it. but that's the truth
