Why do people call me "lazy"?

Question

Why do people think I'm lazy if I don't like gym or go I don't do an extra curricular thing? I study an hour a day and try my best to get good grades, how is that lazy? I might not like doing physical things, but that's my personal choice. What if I stuck you in a class you hated and If you didn't get Straight A's in it I'll call you lazy? So seriously why do people assume you're lazy if you don't like sweating your *** off?

Answer 1

Don't listen to those idiots who are calling you lazy... I completely agree with you... it seems now a day people do that a lot.  Yeah... but don't get all like angry or mad at them for calling you that just tell them that just because you don't go to gym doesn't mean you're lazy....

I'm guessing you like to hang out with friends and stuff....  All I can say is keep doing what your doing... however if you are starting to get a little pudgy from not exercising or something... then that's the reason.

Answer 2

Not trying is not the same thing as doing poorly at something. Laziness means you're not putting out much effort. You appear to others to not be working close to the potential that you have. Try a few more things--you don't have to be great at them! Don't always stay in a safe zone, because you won't grow and get better always doing what you can manage well.
