This is the freeze response. It’s a fear thing.
To some people this may be obvious, but for decades I had no idea that my “laziness” was an expression of anxiety.

my dude, your comment just opened my eyes to a possibility that I had not considered previously. Seriously wish I did drugs right now so I could smoke a bowl and stew on it for a couple hours.
