Why am I so slow moving in daily life and tasks?

[Anonymous]

I dont know if it's laziness but I honestly just am fatigued. So i can't tell if I am just a lazy person. I also want to say that I am extremely quiet and always have been. I naturally don't reach out to say things or express myself whether its for a small matter like I have a quick question to ask someone or important issue like being harassed or bullied. I seem to just overall naturally be an extremely slow and quiet person and I don't know whats going on. Is this bad or wrong?

If you are just spending a longer tlme on each task that is not by default bad. Having more meticolous mindset and approach is very suitable for many areas. If a little in conflict with our more and more stressful lives.

If it is instead that you lack energy to do things, the two solutions is meds and/or exercise. The first will fix it short term at a cost. Exercise is the better option. The basic law of energy is that we need to spend it in order to get more of it. And so when you do exercise regularly your container of energy gets larger every time.

This is also how people that do nothing all day can actually be a lot more tired than people who do things near nonstop. The difference in what we have to spend can be extreme.

My work requires me to be on my feet all day long and my hobbies involve similar. Does that count as bekng active.

Not to any significant degree. Just standing or walking slowly is more of a strain on the body than it is spending energy. I realize these terms are pretty confusing.

Basically you need to actively engage in physically tiring activities such as jogging. Of course if your work involves running around a lot it can count. Targeted exercise generally helps more.

So the strain is giving me strength? At least I can look forward to that

Actively spending it does. A slow, burning passive strain would give less. But sure. The very basic is that if you live a busy life you will learn to exist at an energy level that is just a little below that.

So it could be a mix of the two things you mentioned. Life is too hectic for sure in this big city.

you're probably really smart. smart people have to think things through from a-z and often are perfectionists. the 'perfect' is the enemy of the good. it often keeps progress from happening.

Could be depression. I get like that and it comes in waves. With depression comes lack of motivation, energy, excitement, etc. talk to a doctor and see what they say.
