I know for a fact that it's not because I'm lazy. It's the fear of failure that prevents me from getting ahead, I know that for sure. Explaining that to anyone but the person/people closest to me is insanely difficult so to most people I'm sure it appears to be downright laziness. I'm not afraid of success (perhaps failing after being successful?) but I do know that I've had enough rejections to make me not want to hear another. Procrastinating is a way of controlling that, by saying 'If I'm going to be a failure it'll be on my terms, not on someone else's' It'll be my decision.' I know that's a horribly negative attitude but I'm starting to get out of it.
