give-up artist

A give-up artist is someone who consistently finds clever excuses to avoid difficult situations. They’ve mastered the art of dodging responsibilities, often convincing themselves and others with just enough reasoning to seem valid. It’s a well-practiced habit, rooted in avoiding discomfort, that’s become a way of life.
