Do you guys think this is a disability or just laziness?

Since I was a child. I was never much into thinking too hard into or about things I had no interest in. I got A’s and B’s in school but never straight A’s and B’s unless I really wanted to try to make that happen. Other wise I had a few C’s as well. Even now as an adult, I seem to throw people off with what I do know because so often I don’t try too hard. I like to keep things simple but when it comes down to it and I have to try or I just want to I and others realize just how smart I am and have always been but I just hate thinking too hard.

Hmm, that's an interesting situation you're describing. I can see how it might come across as just laziness to some people, but I don't think that's necessarily the case.

It sounds more like you've just got a different learning style and approach to things. Not everyone thrives on constantly pushing themselves to the limit academically. Some people do better when they can focus on the things they're genuinely interested in and passionate about.

The fact that you're still able to excel when you put your mind to it suggests this isn't a disability or inability to think critically. It's more of a conscious choice to not overexert yourself on stuff you don't care about. And there's nothing wrong with that.

At the end of the day, as long as you're able to get your responsibilities taken care of and live a fulfilling life, I wouldn't worry too much about what other people think. If this approach works for you and makes you happy, then own it. You don't have to force yourself to be a straight-A student if that's not your thing.

The important thing is that you recognize your own strengths and abilities, even if they don't fit the mold of what's traditionally expected. Just keep doing you, girl. As long as you're happy and successful in your own way, that's all that really matters.

You’re probably not lazy but I think the secret to successful people is that they keep trying even when things get hard even when they really just don’t feel like it. Also…. Successful people fail at times they either decide this isn’t for them to find something else or they keep working at it.

If you feel like you need mental help or some kind of diagnosis seek professional help. A lot of people on here think they know what they’re talking about when they don’t.

That’s not a disability, you’re just indifferent
