8 Signs of Chronic Laziness (2 of 5)

2. Avoiding Initiative
Lazy people tend to steer clear of taking the lead in all facets of their life whether at work, in friendships, or in their daily routines. They prefer being passive participants rather than stepping up. Without a desire to achieve or improve, they rely on others to make the effort while they remain seemingly content on the sidelines.
3. Giving Up Quickly
Lazy people aren’t exactly known for their persistence. In fact, they’re the first to abandon projects or goals at the first sign of difficulty. Rather than persevering through challenges, they retreat as soon as they become uncomfortable. This isn’t to suggest that letting go is always a bad thing. It can actually be healthy to let go of unhelpful habits or relationships. The issue is that lazy people quit not because it’s right, but to avoid having to work hard. This tendency keeps them from learning resilience or achieving meaningful accomplishments.
