Overthinking
Analysis paralysis is a state of an individual or a group in which excessive analysis of a situation cause forward motion or decision-making to become paralyzed, meaning that no solution or course of action is decided upon within a natural time frame. It is one of the results caused by overanalyzing or overthinking a situation. A situation may be deemed too complicated and a decision is never made, or made much too late, due to anxiety that a potentially larger problem may arise. A person may desire a perfect solution, but may fear making a decision that could result in error, while on the way to a better solution. Equally, a person may hold that a superior solution is a short step away, and stall in its endless pursuit, with no concept of diminishing returns. On the opposite end of the time spectrum is the phrase extinct by instinct, which is making a fatal decision based on hasty judgment or a gut reaction.
