Why would anyone consider "not doing things you like" as lazy?

Not doing things that necessary but unfun (cleaning, work, etc) is generally what people consider lazyness.

Simple. You're vegetating on the couch, probably mindlessly doomscrolling, while fighting an inner battle that you usually lose. From the outside, people only see you on the couch. They don't know about your internal struggle and how much energy it requires. They'll simply conclude you're lazy and unmotivated.

My mother! Executive dysfunction is a myth, her children are lazy bastards, you know.

The children she tested as part of her job? No no, they aren't lazy, they have issues. They need help.

We just needed to stop being lazy.
