Over-Inhibition – holding yourself back from being all you want to be, mostly out of fear of criticism, rejection, and so on. Examples of this are not speaking in social situations, or not speaking up for yourself when it is appropriate to do so.
Over-Motivation – being so pumped up to do something that you interfere with your ability to do it. This can be readily seen in the athlete, musician, artist, writer, surgeon, speaker, who tenses muscles that are not required for the job.
Over-Analyzing – spending an excessive amount of time thinking about every detail of something before you take a single action, instead of making corrections as you go along. Software manufacturers are an excellent example of this. The bugs are fixed after you invest in the program, not before.
