chuckle as an over-thinker you missed some factors anxiety low confidence low IQ or IQ perfectionism and often a failure to prioritize yes so this is a question from the last podcast and this guy just sent me this tweet and I thought it was a good assessment because I’m not an over-thinker mm-hmm and maybe this guy is and sorry I don’t have his Twitter callsign there but he may be he’s an over-thinker so he kind of knew about it and if you don’t remember the question you know it’s someone that overthinks things they get analysis paralysis right they just start thinking and thinking and thinking they’re frozen from their own thoughts too many thoughts and so I thought these were good little factors here and it basically up to me and all boils down to actually fear mm-hmm because if you’re thinking then you’re not taking action and if you’re not taking action then there’s no consequence and if there’s no consequence and there’s nothing to be afraid of so I think that the overthinking can be an excuse for actual fear and same thing with like I’m a perfectionist that’s also fear it’s fear of not being perfect and then on top of that low confidence well if you have low confidence guess what your afraid your confidence is low you’re not sure yourself so you sit around and think about doing it instead of actually doing it and then anxiety well yeah anxiety actually is fear you’re afraid to do something and then IQ now that might be I guess maybe someone has a high IQ and therefore they’re thinking a lot and maybe that’s not fear but let me ask you a question if you’re so smart then why aren’t you taking action and making something happen so you got a big IQ that’s no excuse to sit around and overthink things especially because if you’re so smart why can’t you come up with a quick solution why can’t you realize that overthinking is actually causing the problem harm it’s not moving the problem forward mmm-hmm so quit thinking so much and take action
