to me it seems far more rude to label him as lazy, cause despite how you might view it, to the rest of society being lazy is fundamentally a moral failure. it’s a way of saying that someone is just bad for not working hard enough, and ignores the many many justifications and reasons for peoples behaviour.
I guess it might be a cultural difference to not believe in laziness, cos I’ve never heard of that 🤷♂️
To me and mine, he’s work-shy and lazy, not a moral failure or anything but it’s just how some people can be.
I think it’s pretty insulting, presumptive, and rude to call him mentally ill because of that to be honest.

I don’t think he’s bad for not working hard enough. I don’t think he’s mentally ill though.
I think if you called any person “lazy” vs “mentally ill”, you’d probably see a difference in reaction.
But, it seems like this might be a cultural thing, and since we’re not gonna solve that… Well 🤷♂️😂
