I know this is a tough one, but I talk about 4 things that could be happening to someone we perceive to be lazy (or to you, if others perceive you to be lazy). 1) Procrastinating perfectionists, 2) just effing tired/overworked and need a break/nap/coffee 3) dealing with mental health issues/anxiety/life issues 4) prioritizing other things. Action item: the next time you come across a "lazy" person in your life, try to think about/poke around and ask questions to see (if relevant) if that person fits any of these categories or could use some help, maybe. Or at least, give them the benefit of the doubt.
