I'm increasingly convinced that "laziness" isn't really a thing; the mental health establishment seems to be coming around to this position as well.

[https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/contemporary-psychoanalysis-in-action/201510/7-reasons-why-laziness-is-myth This article] mainly talks about laziness in mainstream people. For myself, I'd say that what may appear to others as laziness could also be:

# fear of punishment, pain, or other intensely negative consequences of acting (especially where those negative consequences are largely invisible to others)
# inability to focus on a complex task, due to distractions or competing priorities
# forgetfulness (knew I needed to do something, forgot to actually start doing it)
# disagreement on priorities/value -- others assume I'd want to do something, but actually I think it's either a bad idea or less important than other things

...and probably other things I'm not thinking of at the moment.?
