is laziness inherited?

[bitterguy28]

like the title says, do you believe that laziness is inherited? or at least that something we get from our parents? maybe it’s how we saw them growing up? or the principles and beliefs they instilled on us allowed us to grow too comfortable and therefore lazy? is it the result of the kind of environment you grew up on? where do people get their laziness from? and how can one overcome such thing?

Sort of, but not totally because being lazy will really be just that everything be according into you because there are some real life experiences that i have seen in other people whom i've known that their parents are way too lazy or simply living in poverty whose that their guardians are really just that dont mind about on getting a job or would really be that contented on what they do have, somehow their kids do make it as a driving force to do things on which this will be pertaining about doing hard work on which it will really be that making themselves that wanting to get out with poverty and this is why they do work hard even more on which i do see there's no such thing about being lazy could be inherited.

No, I don't think Laziness is something you’re born with, but habits can rub off from your surroundings. If you grew up in a chill environment, you might pick up the same attitude. But at the end of the day, it’s all about mindset and discipline.

Yes and NO. The reason why I said Yes is because laziness can be inherited but when the person is growing up, that laziness can be taken from him by keeping him busy and in the long run, the person will be use to agility. Why I said NO, is because there are some character we human posses ourselves. If it's making money, that's by chance.

In a way, laziness indeed is inherited. Attitude is formed by copying what parents do. If parents are lazy, dont expect children to be hardworking. Children are mirror of their parents. In fact, parents that scold their children must first look on themselves and ask if they wound not have done the same or have same result.

I don't think laziness is inherited or any other behavior for that matter but if kid lives around people who are lazy then I believe he may get conditioned to being lazy.

You know as saying goes, you are what you surround yourself with.

I don’t think that kind of thing is inherited, but I believe it is the environment around you growing up that makes you who you are. If the people around you when you were growing up were always doing nothing, meaning lazy, then you are probably lazy as well because that’s what you learn from. You can change a person with the right people around them.

It can be something you got from your parents, but not in the form of a genetic inheritance but a habit that you copied from them while growing up. Children who grew up around lazy parents have a very high potential for becoming lazy adults; only a few escape from this.

Laziness is an attitude being developed when growing up. It is nurtured, and over time it turns into a habit. If it is not corrected on time, it becomes a habit that can't be easily let go.

The after-effects of laziness on someone can cause them to miss a whole lot of life opportunities. People will take them to be weak beings, and won't call them out for any given event that requires human energy

To say you are lazy because you grew up watching your dad or your mum lazy around and doing nothing meaningful is a lame excuse. You are responsible for your own actions, if you are lazy it is on you, there is nothing stopping you from getting up and achieving your dreams.

That's true, but I think the point is how did person come to be lazy and that often boils down to surroundings one grew up in.

[Cryptsafe]

Laziness has nothing to do with the genetic transfer but I believe it to be an attitude you cultivate as a result of your environment and people around you most especially your parents because it is said that children always copy or watch their parents and always want to copy their parents in whatever thing they see them doing which is why parents are advised to always watch their actions in the presence of their children because they are their first role model in whom they want to be like so whatever thing they see their parents doing, they do it not looking or minding what they are doing if it is right or wrong.

their parents are way too lazy or simply living in poverty whose that their guardians are really just that dont mind about on getting a job or would really be that contented on what they do have, somehow their kids do make it as a driving force to do things on which this will be pertaining about doing hard work on which it will really be that making themselves that wanting to get out with poverty

ironically enough i also know a lot of people who did not have good childhoods and even when they grew up their parents stayed irresponsible financially which i guess what motivated them to keep working hard

however we all also know that generational poverty is a thing not all poor people, despite irresponsible and lazy parents, get our of poverty a lot of them stay in the same place actually

I said similar in some other thread. Impressions that one receives during his childhood are hard to get rid of that's why children often repeat same mistakes as their parents.

I see cases where even if person is earning well, they still continue to have that poor mindset. It's really sad to see, because here child is not at fault, he's been just handed over miserable mindset from their parents.

This is why only those who are well off materially and psychologically should bring children into the world.

It is not common sense because there is no where in the world that laziness is inherited anyone who is lazy got to that state due to the king of life style he decides to live because laziness is a product of not taking responsibility, the kind of characters and lifestyle that anyone have is delibrate because no parents will teach their children to be lazy even the most laziest they will always inculcate good values into their children and one of which is hard work and taking responsibility so laziness is
