I Live In My Head Too Much

I don't take action or make decisions much. Instead I sit in my head and analyze my options. After all that analyzing, I still feel like there isn't enough information in order for me to make a confident decision. But I think the truth is, I'm just a coward when it comes to change, so I'll refuse to take any steps toward anything and convince myself that I simply don't have all the facts to make any decisions.

Then when it comes with analyzing situations that have happened, I think up possible meanings of every little thing that took place to try and determine what certain happenings meant. I have endless lists stored; each one relating to a different question I've asked myself in order to understand a specific event. But none of this goes anywhere because I never actually find out which possibilities are correct assumptions or incorrect ones. So much thinking but no answers. It's maddening...

Experience seems to be the way to retrieve answers, but like I said earlier, I'm a coward. Afraid to leave my mind and take any kind of action. Now I know what Norman Bates meant about private traps...

Paralysis through analysis! I am the same. A mate of mine is the opposite, he just charges in and does stuff and deals with the consequences later. Which is why my car won't start anymore lol

Out of curiosity, what is your birthday? No, i cannot predict everything based off of someone's birthday, i can get feel some basic elements, since i am always in my head as well.

So does that mean we're always at war with ourselves? lol

It definitely can, and it can take having experiences and growing to them to take charge and not let your thoughts dominate you.

It's hard. :/ And what sucks is that I'll automatically make judgments based on feelings but will constantly hush them up because I'm afraid they're actually silly.

And out of curiosity, why did you ask what age I'll be?

@Redstar Thanks. it's terrible but I'm working on trying not to think too much about things I can't control. It's hard but, gotta keep working at it.
