that's not at all what learned helplessness is. Learned helplessness is when you become so used to a punishment or pain or abuse (because you are unable to escape) that you stop reacting to it even when you can escape. I can't think of a way it relates to chores.

I've tried a bunch of times and.. Eh. Weird thing is I actually saw St. Vincent live (opening for another band back in the day) and loved it, but when I listen to something of hers (theirs?) that isn't live it's boring.
