Why do people love to put up excuses to not make sacrifices or changes that are challenging in order to achieve a goal?

A perfect example is working a lot at your job to gain reputation or respect.


Or eating better quality food and exercising in order to achieve a “desirable physique”


I don’t get it, cause we all basically want the same things but some people don’t like to put in the effort to achieve those things yet bitch constantly about not having those said things/goals

Some people have obstacles in the way - for example with the exercising thing. Some people have disabilities, mental health problems, or responsibilities such as being a carer for someone which makes it difficult for them to exercise often. Some people also just don’t have the time if they are working multiple jobs or have other obligations.


Some people actually do these things and don’t gain anything from it so will still complain about not having those things. For example, I work extremely hard in my job but no matter how hard I work my bosses still think I do nothing, don’t respect me, etc.


But a lot of the time people do moan about these things and don’t do anything about it when in reality they probably could. But I would never judge someone without knowing the full picture.

I hear you, I’ve had many jobs and all the ones I quit to pursue other endeavors was when I realized management wasn’t treating me well.

There comes a time where a line needs to be drawn and walk away for your own good.

[sunflower00]

Absolutely yes, but unfortunately some people can’t afford to leave a job like that :( especially if they have bills to pay or other people relying on their income

[sunflower00]

That was meant to be more of a sad face ^

[Danny_dan92]

I get that as well, I would use paid time off to go job hunting 😂 then come back and depending on how that went, either give my notice then and there on my first day back or within a few weeks once I got an offer letter from the next prospect

Plain and simple..
Laziness. and excuses. People don't want to put in the effort. People have time to work out. All it takes it 30 mins to an hour out of their day. They could do a workout at home while they watch TV Even. It's not hard. I have had 2 surgeries on the bottom of my foot. I almost had it amputated from a car crash.. it makes it difficult for me to workout like I use to be able to. but I had my workouts modified so I was able to do them. It's still taken me longer to get back where i use to be. But I'm still trying. It's not hard to eat healthy either. Instead of spending 30 dollers on McDonald's and chips. Spend 30 dollers on food that's good for you.

[Danny_dan92]

Yeah it’s kinda crazy. I hit a low point in my life a bit ago.

Was eating 100% junk. And honestly I probably was spending more money doing that than I am now by going to the grocery store and am meal prepping.

It’s been paying off really well.

That’s exactly what it is, people just wanna look good without actually putting in the effort, this is why I don’t judge people who are unhealthy in the gym. Cause unlike others at least they’re trying. They’re aware of what needs to be done and they’re acting on it

[t_time]

Exactly! Their doing better than 80% of the population. Gym people are usually the nicest people you will ever meet I have come to find out. Everyone started from somewhere

[Danny_dan92]

Lol yeah

JoeySwoll is a good example of the kind of people that are kind and helpful of others in the gym. They understand that the gym is like a club. A social group and classification of people who want to be healthy and look good naked haha

For me I’m nice until I come across someone who lacks gym etiquette. Then they become public enemy #1

in a very simplistic nutshell... this was actually my life

I used to complain and drag myself about that was wrong with me, happened to me (I was young to actually see better though) and that lead me nowhere... but then I started to actively focus on the things I could do to change (more than anything, do better to other and for others) and this better approach was the main reason for my life having a complete turn around, and for the best

it was a difficult ordeal, and it took many years but, it was all worth it... all that hard work made happiness feel more "simple" to get and more important than that, it was genuine as well

[HumeyraHaktanır]

What the fuck?

[Danny_dan92]

Oh child. Well played

[HumeyraHaktanır]

It's pathetic that you're stupid enough to state an irrelevant opinion on my question and expect me to have an opinion on the question. 🤡

[Danny_dan92]

Did I specifically ask you for your opinion? Lol no. Get tf over yourself

[HumeyraHaktanır]

Then you can't comment irrelevant to my question. Get out now, motherless 🤡

[Danny_dan92]

English?

[HumeyraHaktanır]

What

[Anonymous]

People who do that are often afraid of change.
