Do you find it difficult to differentiate between the feeling of being tired and laziness? In other words, when you feel tired or lazy, can you tell that it's because you're actually tired or just lazy?

I can usually tell when I'm being lazy becuase I procrastinate too much. I'll end up doing anything but the one thing I know I should be doing.

When I'm legitimately tired, I'm usually too tired to do anything.

Wait, hold the fuck on! 
What question am I answering here? The first question would be "No" and the second would be "yes" ...

The first one. Sorry, I should have clarified.

When I'm tired I keep working until breaking point.

And Bollocks, I mis-answered. My answer should be no.

#8 Posted by Fallen189 (4773 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago

You're probably lethargic

#9 Edited by NTM (6481 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago

No, I'm rarely ever bored. I know when I'm tired.

Edit - Oh, I didn't really answer the question. I'm often lazy, I'm never bored, and I know when I'm tired.

@SlasherMan: @Captain_Insano: Screw you guys!

#13 Posted by RoboRobb (1036 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago

I'm usually just tired. So long as I've completed my list of tasks I can do whatever the fuck I want.

Also, I hate it when people moan on Facebook or Twitter that they're feeling lazy. Why the fuck do I care?!

Nope, I've seen way longer thread titles. But they are immediately locked by a zeaklous Moderator for being a tad bit presumptuous. ; )

#21 Posted by Video_Game_King (29837 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago

Yes, I can differentiate between the two. Tired is a physical thing, right?

#22 Posted by Maajin (921 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago

Between laziness and tiredness, yeah, I can differentiade.

BUT! You know what confuses the hell out of me? Sometimes my contact lenses make me think I'm sleepy, then I try to sleep to discover I'm not. Pretty weird.

#23 Posted by supamon (1000 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago

One is a state of mind while the other is a physical state. It's pretty easy to differentiate. Maybe you're just lazy and tired at the same time?

#26 Posted by sungahymn (966 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago

No, not really. I know when I'm just being lazy.

#27 Posted by Hockeymask27 (3485 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago

The answer is yes unless it is no?

#28 Posted by believer258 (8170 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago

Of course I can tell the difference between tired and lazy. Lazy is when I avoid work at all costs. Tired is when I try to get done with work as quickly as possible so that I can rest.

You've got to have worked to be tired, at least under normal circumstances.

#29 Posted by GunslingerPanda (4060 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago

I exist in a perpetual state of laziness.

So did I. This question was poorly written.
#33 Posted by Cloudenvy (5770 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago

I don't find it hard to differentiate at all.

Also; that title is...Confusing to say the least.

When I don't feel like doing anything, I try sleeping instead, and if that doesn't work then I realize I'm just being lazy. If it does work, then I'm asleep.

Not really an insult, stupid head is like the least insulting thing you could call someone.
