      Are you sure that’s not executive dysfunction. Though?

      I have the same thing, and it’s definitively because of that for me

        Sure, we can put whatever labels we want on it. But unless they come with useful counter measures, they’re kinda useless. I think a lot of us are just lazy at heart. It’s hard to get started on stuff and especially as we get older, we get exhausted sometimes just thinking about starting something.

          Yes there very much are useful counter measures for executive dysfunction and healthier ways to look at it. And one core part is acknowledging that it’s not laziness

          I won’t tell you what to do, of course, just make sure you’re not putting yourself in a self-defeating thought pattern

          But also, as you said yourself, getting exhausted. That’s not laziness, that’s exhaustion.

          Also we are living in a completely fucked up materialist society where we are nothing but consumer cogs in a system that is devoid of any real purpose and direction and we are simply eking out our daily lives waiting to die.

          There’s also that.
