does laziness even exist?

thinking about it more, it seems to just be a label people call others when they are judging them for having different priorities

i mean, if you prioritize something, but don't do it, that's called executive dysfunction and that's a Different Thing entirely

the other use; the times we use it on ourselves, is mostly being apologetic about the things we've already determined are more important to us in the immediate term

and that's just us feeling bad that our priorities don't line up with someone else's too, isn't it?

@SomeEgrets oh yeah, i mentioned it because personal experience can be really confusing before you even know it exists

i think it's low-key cruel to label how someone functions as "laziness", but it seems like the most common conclusion that gets internalized when people like us look around at others doing things and wonder why we can't just be the same--a conclusion that kinda lingers even after learning ED is a thing
