Is laziness passive anger?
Answer:
Yes it is. Anger is what gives us the drive towards success, because we need a lot of energy to accomplish big things. When we have a lot if anger but no outlets we resort to self-immolation, like being lazy. Rather than trying to remove our anger, find something that you are passionate about and believe in your ability to accomplish the reasonable goals that you set for yourself.
My laziness is due to depression, which, now that I think about it is, in fact, passive anger. But my anger is due to a life situation that I cannot change and I am passive about it because the person who is causing the anger cannot help it. So, now what?
Laziness probably has little to do with anger, and more about operant conditioning. Humans are creatures of consequence, and we do things either because there is a reward for doing it, or there is a punishment for not doing it. If you are lazy, it is because there is no reinforcement for you to do something. Either you do not perceive there being enough a reward for doing your task/s, or you do not feel as if there is a negative consequence. It might be that your personality requires more reinforcement than most to motivate you to get things done.
Either you are going to have to start rewarding yourself to do things, or punish yourself for not doing them...or you could find someone close enough to you that control the consequences so that you don't reward yourself for doing nothing
I've heard that depression is anger turned inward. But if inactivity is due to depression then it is not laziness but lethargy.
The word laziness is a catch all for anyone who isn't out being a busy little bee and sacrificing his or her whole life to benefit a society that only cares about dollars and doesn't give a crap about anyone.
Ummm no... laziness has nothing to with anger that's revenge. Laziness is a product of boredom and in a way rebellion. So the answer to your question is you can't stop laziness by removing anger and anyway you put it you can't remove all anger.
that was a really interesting question. yeah, i think it might be. not helping out or being reluctant to pitch in when work needs to be done could be seen as passive aggressive...in other words, talk to me about my sulky behaviour first, and then I'll help out.
Depends on the situation. Others have covered some possibilities, but I want to point out that if the person acts 'lazy' but really doesn't want to be lazy--they want to do the things they should do, but just don't do them--it may be worth looking into testing for attention deficit disorder.
