Generalizing all humans experiencing difficulty socializing as adults as lazy is an oversimplification at best.

- taneq 2y agoI don't think that's exactly what they were saying. I read it more like "people who divide life into work-that-you-should-pour-your-energy-into and recovery-where-you-try-not-to-spend-energy", and that maybe we should pour less of our energy into work and use that energy for socialising (which can result in an overall net energy gain).
- someothherguyy 2y agoYou have more generous eyes than my best, but saying things like, get off your butt, stop binging, and its that easy, is pretty analogous to common discourse where the blame is placed on motivation alone.
- throw646577 2y agoThere are obviously some adults who have severe limitations on their ability to socialise and nobody is implying they are lazy. But a wider social scene I have been part of has people with evident learning difficulties, people with obvious neurodivergence, people with physical disabilities. If you show up and show interest in sharing a common goal with a large enough circle of people, then those people will find you a way to participate at your own speed. If you have a way to show up for social activities, or assistance to show up, you could show up, you have a desire to show up, and you don't show up... some of that really is laziness at worst and avoidance at best.
