Seems like a great way to paralyze oneself.
It can manifest like that, sure. It's not up to me, though. "Great ways" to do things are usually optional.

I mostly can work with it. It helps make me very good at certain tasks.

What’s funny is that you’re not actually executing as you describe, just that you think you are.

If you indeed waited for all relevant information, you’d never be able to make a choice. You, like every single other healthy human (some humans can’t do this) use emotion to decide when you’ve gathered enough information.

The only difference here is some are aware of this process and some aren’t.
