Crippling laziness and procrastination, anyone else?

[Deleted member 7448]

I'm not talking about normal degrees of laziness and procrastination.

What I do is downright life-destructive. I do it so much it's basically LDARing. I did it before I even knew the concept of LDARing. Did it so much it did ruin my life once, it lead to a whole chain of nasty events in my life.

It's the kind of thing that not only do I wait to do things that have deadlines hours before the deadline, even though I'm given weeks or months. No, sometimes I don't do it altogether. It's so dumb, I don't know why, I can't even get out of bed sometimes, such intense is my laziness. I spent my summer unemployed, at home. I DIDN'T LEAVE THE HOUSE FOR 3 MONTHS. I did nothing, learned nothing.

Hell, I don't even have something that's really interesting to keep me procrastinating and being lazy. I just sort of rot, just have some comedies that I half pay attention to, and I browse the internet.

Same. Except I added to sport to the program, and it's getting a bit better.

Good, at least do something.

I neglected my body so much I can't even finish 10 push-ups.

 

[StaroRavager]

I have a paper, a presentation, and a test on Monday, and yet here I am

 

[Gyros_Pretcel]

Same.

Maybe worth to try dextroamphetamines (godpill) of some other adhd medicament.

Yeah, my main issue right now is that graduating college doesn't mean a guaranteed job anymore even if you are in STEM.

I want to try and I believe that most of my problem would be gone if I achieve financial independence but it's tough these days.

There's a lot I want to study and learn but I cannot if I can't have some security in my life, trapped in a limbo and walking off a cliff right now.

Push ups are great to develop big pecs, but that's really just one thing among others.

Monday? If I had a test on Monday, I'd be studying either 1 hour before the test, or not studying at all and just winging it. My laziness knows no bounds.

Really tough tbh.

At least you're in STEM. Good.

I went into psychology cause it was easy. Which it was, true, and I got by without studying much. But the diploma is basically toilet paper. Especially in this shithole country.

This is what happens when you see no point, nothing to look forward to, an empty existence.

Makes sense.

Tbh I’ve done little to no studying during my entire academic career. Unfortunately there’s money involved now so I’ll have to get my shit together

Yeah, the fact that I've had this mindset since ~14 doesn't help. I basically developed thinking like this. How could I possibly get my shit together now? Especially when I don't see much point to get my shit together, except avoiding poverty.

 

[Serusain]

Same here.

Shit's fucking sucks man, my parents bought into the college hype and forced me to go when I could have been a locksmith with 100k in my bank by now.

Yeah, an non-specialized degree in fields like social science or liberal arts are pretty treated the same in the job market. Even with my Math degree I am having a hard time finding a decent job.

The only way that'll change is if there's some big shake up like you're faced with homelessness or something. Other than that; having a wife to rely on you but this isn't the 1950's so that's out.

 

[fred_herbert]

this is because you are subhuman

 

[SadRealistcel]

haven't done any work or eaten in 3 days

 

[Chadani]

everytime i say im only going to spend 30min fapping it ends up turning into all night sessions. also i only go to uni 1 day a week so basically i can say im doing something other than full NEETing. everyone is doing fulltime courses and here i am still submitting things at the last minute jfl

Even little acts of procrastination and laziness can add up.

I wish I had a certain someone's love of learning and drive tbh ngl.

Yep same.

[metal]

I am like you

 

[Deleted member 11015]

Tbh you have LDAR'd so hard you have fucked up your mind and body. You need to make changes before its too late. Stop calling diet and exersice cope because you know you are coping yourself.

 

[Anger]

When the LDAR is too strong

 

[Mainländer]

I'm beginning to think @Fontaine is right and a big chunk of people here are depressed. Not a surprise tbh.

I do this all the time. I've failed the first year of college two times in a row. This is my third try and even though I'm doing much better I'll still fail one or two classes. I always study on the night before an exam, sometimes the same day and sometimes I don't even study, just hope to pass which never happens.

I have absolutely no drive to succeed. I'm 100% apathetic. The only reason I sometimes try is for my dad who really wants me to get a degree. I feel so sorry for him because he does so much for me. He's so happy when I pass an exam.

 

[FaceandHFD]

I solved this by cleaning my room

 

[God'sGreatestRegret]

Same. There could be a dozen reasons. I think environment is one. I'm usually more productive if I go to a library. It could also be a lack of motivation, or you simply don't have a sense of discipline. In my case it's all of the above.
