That's a bad excuse if I ever heard one
Have you tried not being lazy?
+Danniel Kortright It's not an excuse, I'm not excused at all for it. It's a genuine issue and it becomes a cycle of laziness I can't get out of.

My laziness is making me feel depressed. After a whole day when I look at my day and realize I have done nothing, I feel so sad. I feel better knowing I am not the only lazy one. 😢😭
Well change that then
M exactly the same 😭
You just have to get past the first step every day: getting out of bed and out of your house. Trust me, I couldn't do it at first, but over time you get used to it, and you'll be WAY happier. Plus, you sleep much better at night knowing that you got some stuff done. Also, I learned that ONLY laying in bed when you're going to sleep actually leads to much better sleep, which in turn leads to a better mood + more energy during the day. Baby steps, trust the process, and know that it gets WAY easier the more you do it.
It's also the other way around: Your depression takes your motivation.
Same here. Even though I'm not a couch potato, every day I feel like my life is being wasted
New excuse - Its in my DNA
lmao
omg lol

I'm lazy due to lack of motivation. If I'm passionate about something I don't see it as work but something I enjoy doing which creates better results on those projects. Since I haven't found what I'm passionate about lazing around is what it is.

What helped me overcome my laziness little by little was the 1-minute challenge. I would time myself for a minute and attempt to do something (wash dishes, sweep, and even walk outside) for only a minute. You'd be surprised how much you can get done in 1 minute alone. I'd then increment the time more and more until I didn't even notice how much had passed. It's an interesting way that helped me manage and grasp time rather than waste time.

The term ,"Laziness", can be objective too.
I remember, before my parents divorce, my mother would often say that my father was "lazy". But as I grew and watched him I found that, my father, was one of the hardest working people I knew.
Ironically... my father would later tell me (and others I suspect) that I was lazy... even though most people I knew called me "hard working".
Awww.... the sins of the father are hard to cast aside. But I still loved him anyway :)*
subjective u mean?
Yes...I meant subjective and realized my mistake about the time I hit the send button. Thanx for input.

I don't mind talking about it ,Thanx for asking. But I really don't know... I was young when my mother and father divorced and she didn't comment on him much after that.
Sorry I couldn't add more insight to the story.

What do you have against laziness? As I see it, laziness is one of the driving forces of your Earthling civilization. Would you have vehicles without laziness? Remote controls? Mathematics? Printing? Pizza taxis? Microwaves? Computers?
Sports, on the other side, pushed development of... what? Indoor rowers? Sneakers with air chambers? Yay.
Zogg from Betelgeuse is this some kind of alien propaganda, to make us ready-for-conquer, basic-level-difficulty civilization?
All things you mention were meant to speed up processes, so other (or more) things would be possible. Many of us are lazy, but i don't think individuals responsible for those inventions, were also lazy. Actually, they wanted to do even more. Sadly, most of us are not really shaping tomorrow. Wait, pizza taxi?
Laziness is a driving force towards the oceans. Look how many humans in first world countries resemble small whales. If we continue this way, soon gravity will be unbearable and land locomotion will became thing of a past. Life will be naval again.
As for sports, I get your point, but we have to remember, that without it, there would be a lot of unchanneled energy. With current social and intellectual development of our species, i would fear the consequences. Indoor rowing, and sports in general, might be irrational, but for now it spawns only minor threats. And hey, my back doesn't hurt when i run with air chambered sneakers on.
It's called technology ..

That person does not even make sense. You can't be lazy to drive a car lol if you're driving, pay FUCKING attention! I don't get the mathematics thing ._.
@Badger- are you kidding me? Would you rather walk 60 miles for hours every day OR sit down, put on AC, and drive a car for, what, just an hour?
Sports has definitely contributed to medical knowledge.
Are you telling me my kids are going to be even lazier than I am? Oh god...

*Adderall laughs
+EPICFINALBOSS adderall is the most wonderful drug in the world. I have been taking it for 10 years. I am 29 and look 21 and it has completely transformed my life, all vices like over eating, being lazy and procrastinating, day dreaming about "success" has been replaced by productivity. Anyone who says adderall is bad, or it's just like Meth or it could be dangerous, my only response is "where is the proof?" Unlike oxycotin or other prescription drugs, when is the last time you met an adderall addict? The drug has been around for like 70 years, it's safe to say all of those news pieces about the "adderall epidemic on campus" has been an annual oped for the past 20 years.
+Pete Sandwich I hate how it makes me feel though...even if it does help with the other stuff...
Yeah man, I miss my Adderall days for sure. ;D

+Pete Sandwich adderall can have nasty side effects and is addictive, i'd rather microdose LSD, it improves focus and creativity while not being addictive and not having any side effects.

Maybe laziness is an evolutionary survival tactic passed down through genetics.
Running around, hunting animals and such takes alot of energy, but maybe the somewhat lazier hominids survived because they saved up their energy and when it came time to finally use it (like having to run from a bear) they were able to survive.
I dunno, just a theory. I had 4 beers.
thumbs up for the beer!
I cracked up after I read the last part.
Both the sports gene and the couch potato gene probably had their advantages and disadvantages in paleolithic times.
The couch potato gene may have been advantageous in hunting in heavily wooded regions or in fishing as this requires a lot of just sitting around and waiting.
It also would have tended to allow it's owner to conserve energy.
The sports gene would have been more advantageous in situations that required actively searching out things like nuts and berries or chasing prey in open areas.

I am so lazy i want to swap with a tree so I do nothing all my life
Hi
Good idea. You'll do nothing but still be helpful.
Trees are incredibly active and not at all lazy. Trees are busy growing all day and night plus photosynthesizing using sunlight and making air with Oxygen in it for us to breathe plus creating homes for animals and places for kids to climb. They're surviving long cold winters even when deer chew on them and they lose some of their essential bodily fluids such as tree sap. Plus using the hardened tree sap like a scab to cover their injury every time an animal bites them or a person cuts them or breaks off their limbs or a storm hits them. Xylem and phloem flowing up and down their bodies all day and night, working hard to get that water out of the ground using their roots all the way to the very top of their leaves and branches because you can't have healthy leaves without getting water up to them. Growing new leaves. Processing soil minerals and incorporating them into their bodies. Sending out chemical signals to attract soil bacteria to help them get Nitrogen they need from the soil. Sending out chemical signals to communicate with other nearby trees that an animal or an insect is eating them so other trees in the tree grove can increase their production of toxic chemicals to protect them all against the bugs. Working hard to produce good smelling flowers so they can be pollinated and turn into fruits. Making just the right hormones so the fruits will be ripe at the exact time that the seeds are ready to be carried somewhere far away from the parent tree to be planted by a fruit eating animal that is gonna poop them out. So that the baby trees don't die from not having enough sunlight or water, they have to be carried some distance away from the mom/dad tree, otherwise there will be too much shade and the baby trees will die. So that piece of fruit needs to taste really good for seed dispersal to happen. So as you can see trees are not lazy, they are constantly doing things. It is just a different way of being alive.

A genetic precondition is not the same as a predetermination. I hope people pay attention to the end of this video where it says you don't have to be a victim of your genes.
+Micah Buzan determinism is misunderstood. when i say people cant help the way they act, im not saying nothing can be done about it
Yay! It's not my fault! :D
Nothing is your fault. Everything is determined by the initial state of the universe.
Indy7272 Assuming that the world is deterministic, not indeterministic.
Paul Vinell We cant prove that whole universe is deterministic but according to all studies, human behavior is deterministic, there is no free will. So there really cant be anything like "your fault".
Indy7272 I'm personally a fan of determinism (and find it more likely than the opposite)! I was just stating a hypothetical.
Indy7272 Human behavior is deterministic? How can that even be tested?
TV and internet make it phenomenally easy to stay in rather than go out (netflix instead of a movie date, amazon instead of the mall, kindle instead of the library). For people in the suburbs, the only way to get anywhere is by car. In fact, walking or biking can be highly dangerous and difficult. For poor people, time and money constraints make eating healthy extremely taxing. Speaking of food, the virtually unlimited availability of the stuff makes it all too easy to go get that satisfying feeling of eating, whether that's going to the corner fast food joint or just reaching into your pantry for a snack. And lets not forget advertising that encourages consumption, as well as the increases in portion sizes at restaurants (a kind of spectacle creep phenomenon with everyone trying to one-up each other).
And of course, the less healthy you are, the harder it is to change. Especially if your bad habits are culturally and filially ingrained from childhood, making a change means not only paying attention to what you eat, but changing the way you bond with loved ones, cope with hardship, and even the way you self-identify. With all of this, overcoming a natural predisposition to be lazy becomes a Stygian task.
This is why I don't condone fat shaming. Shit's just hard to fix. If you're already healthy, it's probably hard for you to understand the difficulties of changing your lifestyle. I kinda get it if you yourself have lost a lot of weight, but not everyone's journey is like yours. Rather than picking on obese people, we should acknowledge the struggle of living in a society that demands fitness while simultaneously making it obnoxiously inconvenient to be healthy. Encouragement and understanding will go farther to make people healthier and happier, and all we'd have to give up is the smug self-superiority that comes with demeaning others.
How the hell is walking dangerous and difficult? What one has to do to change lifestyle and be healthier is really not that much. 30 minutes of walking a day does ALOT for the body.
gjozefi
There are no sidewalks out here. You either have to walk in the road or right next to it (dangerous), or go traipsing through a bunch of knee high grass, ditches, briers and shit (difficult). And everything is far away, like 2 miles to the nearest anything. Sure, if you're just walking in a neighborhood to get exercise, that's not bad, but my point is that you have to do that as a dedicated activity.
When I lived in the city I walked everywhere because it was easier (even quicker sometimes), so I got exercise without even thinking about it. To get a similar amount of walking in the suburbs, you have to take extra time out of your day to walk in circles around your neighborhood just for the sake of walking. It's frustrating. It's not like that can't be overcome, but I'm trying to paint a picture of the large number of small pressures and incentives that make it so living healthy is not default. The changes you have to make are small, sure, but they are many, and they're all in competition with much easier, more natural feeling choices.
Taylor Bennett
Driving a car is more dangerous then walking next to a road :P
Joseph Dunkowski
I'm pretty sure that the greater statistical likelihood is due to the much greater number of people driving than walking. But now that I think about it, I don't think *perceived* danger can be discounted here. We're talking about incentives here, after all. Cars passing you at 45mph *seem* a lot more dangerous when you're not in a car yourself.
Taylor Bennett
When your in a car yourself not only could you be in danger but you could become a danger to others as well.

+Noah Naugler so freaking true for me!

Be careful not too confuse laziness with depression.
Some people can move because they cant see the point of even being alive.
They dont enjoy or even like being alive so actually getting even out of bed takes vast amounts of will power.
I think most healthy people can have a little episode of laziness just to relax,but if they are healthy they will eventually be unable to just keep staying still.
Staying still without doing nothing and only staring at your screen/display, is very unhealthy
so...its my parents fault?
Yes, everything is one's parent's fault.

Well Jesus, God made you so you only have him to blame for your shortcomings, you know, manipulative amassing followers and being a compulsive liar.
:D
Jesus Christ, you scared me
Nice one Jesus. You got time to comment on a youtube video, but when it comes to answering my prayers you be ducking me. alright Jesus I see how it it.
Quaron Leslie say that in Homer Simpsons voice.
Why are you watching ASAP SCIENCE?
Hmmmmm..
This video made me understand why my mom is so addicted to exercising. When she's not moving, she just doesn't feel happy. Me and my brother do not feel the same way about exercise and she's constantly pissed off that we're lazier than her. Constantly. I'll have to go and explain some stuff to her. Thanks.
***** Was that sarcasm?
***** Yeah, I like to see that she exercises because it keeps her healthy. However, I really don't like that she doesn't accept the way me and my brother are; we simply don't have the motivation or need to exercise. It gets very frustrating, because she won't understand it. I know that it's good to exercise, but I wish she would just accept it.
That is how I feel. I am not happy without exercise. Exercise is literally like an anti-depressant to me. Or, a stimulant. Without it, I'm just miserable. It's interesting the point you make, because it makes me wonder how other people can NOT be so energized by fitness like myself. Helps me see the other side of the spectrum! :)
I think you're missing the point of this video. It's not that you're genetically coded to not want to do something such as exercise and eating. It goes more along the lines of if you're lazy and don't do anything about it you'll stay lazy and reap everything that goes along with it... Shorter life, unable to jog a 100 yards without being winded, getting injured more often as you age and so on. If you don't have the desire to want to change the result of any of those then that's your choice but will give your children a predisposition for those as well. All of it can be changed though through action... Your genes will change based on your activities of daily living. I challenge you to re-watch this with that mind set and then maybe you'll understand your mom's motherly concern for her children and for them to be active.
Eric Start I understand that. What I wanted to understand was why my mom has such a need to exercise. It's not just motherly concern for us, it's more than that, trust me. She just cannot be happy if she doesn't exercise and she refuses to even try to undestand that we aren't like that. I'm not the happiest person and she thinks that my lack of exercise is the reason, while the reasons are so much different and more complicated than that.
I'm so lazy that I didn't even watch the full video
Guys are lazier and I will explain why after my nap.
Lol
Why are guys lazier may I ask? But before that let me nap on my gar- I mean kingly golden couch.
Zzz!
Great!! Lol
That's purely ignorant and off-.... ............
............*snore*.........
Very interesting! You might be interested in a book I've been reading that describes why those with more fat have lower activity level, i.e. lazy. It's a book called "The Fat Switch" and it basically says that it's not being lazy that makes one fat, it's being fat that makes you lazy. Those that have turned on the "Fat Switch" (*like many organisms in nature storing fat in preparation for winter), makes that organism produce less ATP (as that energy is going into storing more fat), which makes one lazy, allowing one to not burn off that fat the body is accumulating. This is good for times of famine, but not so good for us as we have an overabundance of food. :) I highly recommend the book and maybe it'll give you an idea for a future video. Thanks, AsapSCIENCE!
I'm only watching this because I'm srsly lazy at right now. I can't get out of bed because my muscles feel weak.....ahauahwuskd
@Daenerys Targaryen So how did it go?
U seriously need to go outside and exercise so you can feel stong,motivated,happier,improve you grades,improve your learning.If exercise was a medicine it would be the best medicine to prevent so many stuff.
This change my life.
he captured me and then drew that first picture
😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏best comment ever!
I dunno the difference...i mean my laziness is mixed with depression.
I regret nothing
"Fight your DNA" damn thats some motivation right there.
I'd rather accept my DNA in this case, but to each their own.
So why am i lazy but my sister is really active?
gene polymorphisms
because you're just lazy
+Re well that's a dumb answer
+Re too lazy to judge your answer

I want to know about the science of sleep paralysis and speaking in tongues.
If science can explain everything, I want science to explain the spiritual.
Josh Damasco I recommend you to read more about Neuroscience, it's the best way to analyze scientifically all those "spiritual" phenomena, it's a lot of reading... so if you are really interested and not afraid to find out something that may change you, start as soon as possible.
Renata Yepez
How does would neuroscience even explain that?
But what is life without God?
mareeyo1 Well, if I remember correctly, when you sleep, your body paralyzes itself so that you don't physically enact your dreams and potentially hurt yourself. Sometimes our bodies neglect to turn off the paralysis. There are some disorders where too much of whatever paralysis inducing chemical is released and it takes longer to wear off. There are also disorders with the opposite problem where too little or no paralysis inducing chemical is released. These people act out whatever their dream is and often sleep walk/talk.
Check out my new science video ‘The Digestive System: A Simple Two Minute Guide’, made in the style of ASAP Science!
Adds this to "Watch Later."
There's no level of laziness for me, I literally don't move for anything but school but even then I'm not happy about it....yet I'm the skinniest guy I know....SCIENCE!
***** Yes, yes I do!
***** I dare say that can be attributed to diet and metabolism more than physical activity. :)
Cookiofshadows2 Hmm...let's see, I eat cheese and chocolate, as well as sweets (tic tacs, fruit pastilles, etc) so it's all because of my metabolism...I think that it may be a good thing that I DON'T exercise!
It wouldn't be entirely metabolism. It would also depend on how much and how often you eat. :)
Cookiofshadows2 Uhh...well...about that...
The funny thing is both my parents are workaholics and I'm the laziest thing on the planet. My youngest brother too. But not our middle brother, he's a workaholic like our parents.
+MandarinCat Depends on their occupation before and after they had you. Are they physically active all the time at work or do they just sit in a office at work?
***** Well my mom is physically active all the time. She doesn't work, but she's always doing something either around the house or doing everything for everyone. There is always something she has to do.
My father passed away many years ago, but he was a soldier and even became a Major. Every day he would exercise. And he died from overworking himself, causing himself physical problems that became worse simply because he wouldn't sit down and rest his injury.
You say exercise activates the reward system, then why do i feel emotionally bad and crave for lots of relaxation aver every PE class
Because you suck at it and you know it. But if you do it enough to start getting good at it, you will feel good about it.
After exercise your body needs to build up again. If you dont workout that often, you will need to relax for a longer time to feel fit and fresh again than if you were exercising regularly.
aleksander706 you mean like biking 10 km every schoolday to get from and to school
I have no clue what these kids are telling you here, but the reason the "reward system" doesnt apply to your PE class in school or wherever, is because you are NOT doing it for a reward. You are merely in your PE class as a curriculum of school, a required class, and therefore you treat it with as much hate as the hate towards other classes. IF you worked out regularly for a self-reward like say "lose weight goal", then you will feel rewarded having done so, but to do something forcefully is not going to make you feel any better, mentally or psychologically, although it can help physically.
copjing robbbyyy25
When physical actives are for you, you hate them. If they are not, you wouldn't be hating them. You would find them annoying at most. And you do get rewards. When you do them properly you get stronger, faster, etc. And that does feel good, even if you are the biggest nerd on the planet. It pays off and you can clearly see it. It's simple rewarding.
Also there is very rarely a kid that doesn't love PE the most during elementary grade. Until/during that age kids are very active, so they are good at being active. Eventually some stop being as active as before, so it gets harder for them to do it, they are bad at it now. And then you see them just sitting somewhere during PE, while everyone else is enjoying themselves. That happens especially to girls, since until a certain age they love to play just like the boys do, but then suddenly playing with the boys and/or like them stops being something that a girl does, so they don't do it, get bad. Even most teachers agree with this by saying how normal is for girl to not do any physical actives and so they give them good grades, without wanting anything in return.
It's a combination of mindset and what you do because of it. And when you do (not do) something, there are consequence, results. And these results get out even more in this mindset. For example: "Playing video games all day is a lot more fun that playing football." -> you get better at playing videos games, worse and worse at playing football -> "Video games are tons of fun (and have a lots people to play them with). Football is stupid."
Fatigue, laziness and sleepy can also be due to low levels of B12. It Helped me getting B12 shots.
Thought it might help someone
I don't want to change my gens. I just feel like I can't help it. My hate for sports or games is too strong
Laziness is genetic !? That is unmotivated explanation hahaha
"We've all had those days"
Me: AHAHAHA I THINK YOU MEAN MY WHOLE LIFE.
