[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think showing self-awareness (if you believe that your work ethic could be improved, for example) is a great first step and indicates that you aren't completely "spoiled," if you are at all. "Spoiled" people tend not to be aware of the impact of their behavior on others. Plus, people can sometimes be the most harsh judges of themselves, so it might not necessarily be true.

Instead of criticizing yourself with negative labels, why not focus on what you need to do or do differently? I recommend prioritizing making sure that your behavior isn't negatively affecting others' or your well-being (most importantly health) or finances. Once that is taken care of, you can work on the other stuff.

If you feel comfortable sharing more about aspects of your behavior that you'd like to change, people can give more helpful, specific advice.

Also, if you have trouble getting stuff done, have you ruled out the possibility of a health issue? It could be a condition causing fatigue, depression, ADHD, etc. Symptoms of depression and ADHD can sometimes look like laziness to people who don't know what's going on.

Good luck! [/quote]

OP. Thanks, I do have depression and ADHD but the world does not really care about this as it only comes across as so many excuses. It limits my life tremendously, but it is no comfort knowing that.[/quote]

OP, I think you are being hard on yourself.  Do you have a therapist that you can discuss this with?

In answer to your question,  the laziest person i know of is a family member.  He is nearing 40 and has never held a full-time job in his entire life. His last job of any kind was about 15 years ago. He is married.  His DW has a job, is the primary parent to their 3 kids, and has health issues that would be helped if she could only take some time off of work. She's   the one who needs to not work. Theyget outpatient financial care from his parents and grandparents. I find the whole situation remarkable.  By this measure, OP, you are a workhorse and high achieving. And you have two mental health issues that you have to contend with. You're doing great.[/quote]
