Can be a case of child prodigies. When you get told early in your development that you are smart, smarter than the others, some tend to not put any effort because... well, they are smart so the answer will come naturally to them right ?

When any obstacle arise to this magical solution, you just fold and flee any difficult task. Trying and failing would make them realize that you weren't so special to start with.

Also, it's easier to preserve that self image by not putting in effort and failing. By putting in effort and facing an uncertain outcome, one could jeopardise their self image.
