Happy Sunday everyone! Here's some free gift from us for those who watch and help promote our content: goo.gl/BwJXXV. Be sure to get our latest copy of our introvert e-book!
Psych2Go Can you do one for both guy and guy pls thank you I think this guy likes me and I’m not sure if he does he trick me with little body language and signs he looks directly into my eyes he tried to come and approach me once I think and he acts weird around me he use to act nervous and shy ☺️ but now he enjoys my company he is in 8th and I’m in 7th and I only have 3 not months of school to try and talk to him and see i feel a chemistry between us when we look at each other I feel warm and glad he is there and I have like a memory pop to my mind telling me it was meant to be we always run into each other in the hall pls help!! P.S. Should I listen to these thoughts?. Other think I need to talk to him but I get scared the nerves.
I'm definitely #1 Depression and my lack of any sort of motivation, get thrown away by the adrenaline of having to finish something within a short period of time.
I suppose daydreaming is one form of procrastinating. Doesn't anyone feel like after a while laying in bed, you need to get up and daydream with some music? Or that anyone's personality is most amplified late at night, and feel you are at your best? These are two things I want to see a vid on!
I actually have the habit of randomly getting out of bed and start daydreaming. I just walk around my room while I let my imagination run wild. I do it every day, not doing it actually legit frustrates me. Is this normal haha?
When I'm in class, sometimes I randomly and unexpectedly bleep out of existance into my own mind.. It usually takes 20minutes for the teachers to drag me back to class lol.
No! I just wanted to say the girl's voice does fit more into your vids ( my opinion). I don't want to offend him though. I like both of them, but lili's maybe lil'more. By the way, love your videos!
Perfectionism is definitely me! I worry and stress about anything upcoming, and as a result try to avoid things through procrastination or by making up an excuse to miss it (“Gee, I’d love to do that thing, but I’ve already got something else..”)
Note for myself and you guys Type 1: Thrill-Seekers - People who wait for the last minute to receive euphoric rush Type 2: Avoiders - People who fear the consequences whether it be success or failure. Usually fears the judgement of others. - Skill deficit, lack of interest, lack of motivation could all cause to breed an avoider Type 3: Decisional Procrastinators - People who have difficulty making a decision.Usually caused by fear. Fears - Perfectionism is the underbelly of the fear of failure. - Fear of success: Consequences of achieving success such as being responsible of a greater task and being put on a unpleasant spot.
I am an avoider with lack of interest WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO DO HOMEWORK because when on earth will I need to know why Kublai Khan sent Marco Polo on journeys to find ways of the Silk Road???
I often procrastinate because I feel like I never get time to myself anymore. I’m always flooded with so much homework, that I can’t stay motivated enough to just sit and do it. I can’t ever draw, which is an important way for me to cope. I can barely listen to music because most of my work is writing based, and it’s hard to focus on that work with music in the background (I’m fine with math homework and music though). I barely get to spend time with my family, and it’s taking a toll on everyone because all we want to do is have fun together (I feel like it’s affecting my brother worst of all, and I’m deeply concerned about how he’s acting nowadays). So the way I try to cope with this, is Club Penguin Rewritten. As stupid as that sounds, I actually found people I can relate to on there, and it turns out they go on to cope too. It’s a place where busy teenagers like me go to socialize when we can never seem to find time to in the real world. Of course, I don’t always procrastinate, I just tend to when I really feel like I’m hitting rock bottom, and I just need a break from everything. But I’ll be honest, all of my work is taking a toll on not only my mental health, but my family’s as well. So to conclude this, I have a video suggestion. How does more homework/ isolation from a social life effect your mental health? (I don’t know if that makes sense, but I would like to see some sort of video like it.) Anyway, if anyone actually read this, thank you for taking the time to read. I appreciate it when people actually see what I have to say
Yes, please, I'm suffering some of the same problems uwu but the club penguin thing sounds interesting, I was never actually able to go onto the original club penguin cause I never really heard of it until after it shut down...
I have some aspects of #2 in me but I'm really a #3 procrastinator. I really enjoy this channel because from the videos that I have watched (mostly on introverts) I've learned much about myself.
I'm procrastinating right now... My reason for procrastination is definitely #3...I've been struggling with the fear of failure for a while, but I am working on being better!
The moment she said "They would rather be perceived as lacking effort than lacking ability" I realised, yup, that's me... And this is so stupid that I would subconsciously like it more if people found me lazy than if they found me not very talented but hardworking... Thx Psych2Go for putting what I'm subconsciously up to into words, it really makes it easier to fix this wrong mindset!!
Type #2, out of perfectionism. But I also have issues with self-worth, all meshed together. I actually have a considerable amount of focus, but I lack the motivation to initiate doing my tasks. I struggle with it every time. I have to be in high spirits (positive or negative) to initiate it without much thought. Usually, though, it requires a lot of effort. Not even visualisation really works. I can never do something for myself, it seems, but when I do it for someone else, it appears to come more easily.
I'm definitely type 3 (I also have borderline personality disorder). I used to be type 1, and I'd actually get my work done EVENTUALLY. Now I worry so much that I never get anything done :(
I'm definitely 2 and 3. I hate making decisions and choosing along with the fear of others judging me for my lack of skill. I'd much rather people think I'm deciding not to do it which is why I'm so poor at the topic than let them know I'm horrible even if I try. It's terrifying.
Definitely a thrill-seeker. I find it really hard to do anything without that thrill. All of the projects I procrastinate on have actually given me my best grades. I’ve been trying to make an effort to improve, though, while maintaining that thrill. I make people give me due dates on tasks. That way, I’m more motivated to do the tasks at a regular pace while kind of procrastinating until those due dates... if that makes sense.
Another great video! Procrastination and how to stop procrastinating is actually something I have looked at on my psychology channel GetPSyched before. Its a really interesting topic and psychology can do wonders to help us understand it and treat it better. Thanks for the video!
I'm proscratinate every task I've given. The pressure of failure had thrown me out of realistic. So instead of expecting perfection, I just do an-okay job, so I still can get going without feeling pressure. I just want to keep going and never looking back. I learnt the mistakes and thought how can I get better soon so I don't feel as regret.
Not very precise. I don't "seek" thrills. It's only then that I'll act because then I must act, not because I enjoy this distress. I simply have a hard time concentrating on stuff I'm not directly interested in and only have to do because of external motivations.
Hmm... I'm definitely the first one. Thrill-seeker. I always feel more productive or my mind thinks clearer about school works or tasks if I'm pressured under time. Though... at the same time, the pressure is a double-edge blade that can also ruin me with anxiety and self-admonishment.
No lie. I saw this notification, saw the title, and told myself I wouldn't watch it because I was just about to start my hw. And now here I am, about 7 hours later and 90% of my hw is done 😂🙌 don't worry, I gave myself breaks, but I knew that if I started watching a video that I would stay on TH-cam and procrastinate 😂
I'm pretty sure, that I am a procrastinator too, but I can't completely relate to these. I tell myself, that a few minutes would be enough. As an example in the morning, when you have to go to school, I set my alarm at six in the morning, but I get up at twenty minutes past seven. Thats 20 minutes from the beginning of school. The reason why I set my alarm at six is, that I would be able to enjoy some time in my bed, before I have to get up. The reason I get up that late is, that I tell myself, I would be able to get ready in 10 minutes. I need 10 more for the way. I just rather skip brushing my teeth or eating breakfast. I do the same with learning for exams or similar stuff. I trust myself, that the result is going to be okay even if I put the least effort in it. Somehow it will work anyway. Why learning if everything will be alright, even if I play games now?
i relate to this more than any other comment i've seen here. of the last 5 school days, i was late 5 times. i used to always be there at 7:44/7:45 but i'm expected to be there at like 7:43 or something now and i can't adjust. i know i could be better in school if i actually studied but if you make As without studying it's really hard to incentivize yourself. if you know someone else will clean up your mess then why learn to clean? the problem is when i expect an extension or something and put less than the minimum effort in to something. i used to eat breakfast, i used to do a lot of things in the morning that i gave up on for the sake of time. and honestly... i still think it's worth it. is this truly a problem or do i just have different priorities? maybe both?
I didn’t know fear of success was a thing until now, and it’s absolutely true D: I’m afraid that I’ll have to keep a good image, give speeches, and get put in the spotlight etc.
I 'm watching this video about procrastination to cure my procrastinating habit while procrastinating and typing this comment instead of doing my homework.
I'm the 2nd because I don't want to do any effort due to the fact that if I fail everybody will think that I'm dumb. But I'm also 3rd because when I sometimes try to work I can't make up my mind and is afraid of failure. But type 1 is also me because when I have no time to finish anything is when I truly start to finish some things and pull off a work not too bad.
I’m a decisional procrastinator, but not too an extreme extent. I care and focus too much on my future self to screw future me over like that. I’ll delay situations and decisions, but only as far as I’m slightly uncomfortable with. Also, procrastination nation woot woot!
I'd say I relate to the second one. Without realizing it at the time, I have been avoiding doing certain activities, mostly because I just don't feel like doing them at the moment.
Def. #3 it’s always fear of making a wrong decision and make the excuse of having it done on my “own” time because it’s not enough on their time. I didn’t realize I was actually procrastinating. Smh
I'm probably closest to the "Avoider" type, but there's nothing here that nails my procrastination habbit and the reasoning behind it. For me, there's no fear of anything, it's just the task I'm procrastinating is so god awfully boring that I end up doing it when I have absolutely nothing else to do. That episode of Spongebob where he has to write an essay is like an extreme version of my type of procrastination.
I’m definitely #2. I had a castle drawing to do and I can only draw simple things like flowers and the Deathly Hallows, so I procrastinated. It also doesn’t help that my friend is one of the best drawers in my grade, if not the school
Looking back at myself, I'm somewhere between The Thrill-Seeker & The Avoider. I almost always did larger school assignmnets or projects at the last minute successfully (they were all successful, but not all were done at the last mimute, hence the *almost always* part). I also tended to avoid some assignments because I happened to think that I Was unprepared for the job or it was simply boring (this kind of lead to me becoming a Thrill-Seeking Procrastinator).
Instead of doing my work on time, I procrastinate for months (even years) and then once the deadline has already passed I drink a crap load of coffee and do absolutely EVERYTHING in a week without any sleep whatsoever... #IBLife kill me now
I'm definitely avoider. I really really want to work but just thinking about it makes me stressed and I just can't concentrate for more than 15 minutes at best, I have to take a break then, but that's only when practicing violin, other school work that can't be done in a few minutes I just can't get to sometimes even starting, it's so frustrating, I hate myself, I hate that I'm so unmotivated and that I procrastinate so much, because I know that it'll only make everything so much worse until I'm eventually driven to a panic attack and then I'm tired and I continue not being able to do anything unless I'm completely pressured to and it's just a cycle of delaying the inevitable with pointless distractions and I have no idea how to get out of it I hate it all so much.
@@wiegraf9009 Oh, man... I've completely forgotten about this comment. Thanks for reminding me of it, genuinely. Makes me feel less ashamed for trying to get help now when I remember that this has been a genuine problem my whole life, lol :')
All three types sounded like me. But I would say that I don't put off anything just because I like the rush of having to finish in a short period of time... More just that the rush can seem to help me to actually complete tasks (except that I often wait until I don't have enough time left o_o') whereas I might otherwise be... overly perfectionist, I guess, and get work done at a snails pace, and run out of drive/energy for the task(es) since I'm focusing too much on things that aren't so important (or that I can't do anything about). Anyway, I've had fear of failure (fear of my inability), fear of success (fear of expectation -- which I suppose is fear of my inability to live up to it -- or limelight), and lack of interest all bog me down at times, sometimes in the same instances. Also, I have fear of making decisions, which I think just means that I don't feel informed/wise enough to make those decisions... I've always thought of myself like a cat because they act like the want to come inside or go outside when what they really seem to want is for the door to get left open for them and the option to go in/out to be constantly available. I guess I don't feel comfortable enough with my decision to feel comfortable with the door being closed. But, on the other had, it doesn't really accomplish anything to sit in the doorway. Maybe procrastinators feel like the answers might come to them if they wait long enough. At least that's usually my small hope, since I hate making decisions that I feel uncertain about.
i read somewhere that symptoms of adhd includes chronic procrastination.. and yes i do have (somewhat mild) adhd, and have been procrastinating for as long as i can remember, turning up homework’s etc late all the time and in turn doing badly at school. as of now i am (unsurprisingly) procrastinating lol. if only i knew how to stop and learned to work my ass off:/ and it’s not only in school, i literally procrastinate almost anything and i hate it bc i’m not even being productive like i literally just plop in my bed the moment i’m home.. but ultimately i believe i’m a #2 type procrastinator, or maybe even a type 3 as i have hella low self esteem🤧
Am definitely the first two, especially the first one growing up when it came to projects. Now as an adult I procrastinate more in my personal life than at work. Bizarre to say the least...😂😂
I knew planner doesn't work! I've been hearing over and over that planning makes you been able to do tasks but it just never works for me. It just makes me feel worse because now i have a list of things i'm not capable of finishing.
I'm defenetly the no.1 (and no. 2) It kinda became a habbit of mine to finish my task on the last minute. Sometimes, I even "gave" my friends a head start to finish an exam... Idk if this is plain lazy or lack of motivation.
I'm definitively the avoider, and I think it's the picture I have of myself and the fear of failure that hinders me. I haven't found anything to help coping with this yet, so I' open to suggestions.
Depression deprives me of motivation, anxiety makes me fear success and failure at the same time, shit personality makes me stand still and do nothing.
A lot of people question me because most of the time I ace my tests and quizzes and I always tell them that I studied last minute but they wouldn't believe me. It's actually the truth, I always study last minute because I like no scratch that love the pressure idk why but even though my studying habit is messed, I still get hella good grades.🤷😲

I suppose daydreaming is one form of procrastinating. Doesn't anyone feel like after a while laying in bed, you need to get up and daydream with some music? Or that anyone's personality is most amplified late at night, and feel you are at your best? These are two things I want to see a vid on!

Welcome back girl voice!
edit XD 20 likes in like 40 minutes
:D There will be more. Did you not enjoy the male's voice?
Psych2Go All of the voices are great, but I find this voice quite cute ;)
Psych2Go I like both of you :)
No! I just wanted to say the girl's voice does fit more into your vids ( my opinion). I don't want to offend him though. I like both of them, but lili's maybe lil'more. By the way, love your videos!
Andrew Green i agree!
You're my favourite speaker on this channel.
Glad you love Lily's voice!
Psych2Go Maybe it's because her voice is so calming, or maybe because it's the perfect voice for therapy. Either way, I do enjoy hearing your voice.
That is very true. Her voice is so soothing and therapeutic. It’s nice to hear when you’re stressed out
"Which type of procrastination do you rela--" all of them.
Added this to Watch Later. 👍
Same, now I finally watched it...
Ah i see, you used another method of procrastination ehh? Same
Perfectionism is definitely me! I worry and stress about anything upcoming, and as a result try to avoid things through procrastination or by making up an excuse to miss it (“Gee, I’d love to do that thing, but I’ve already got something else..”)
can i be the 3 types?
Note for myself and you guys
Type 1: Thrill-Seekers
- People who wait for the last minute to receive euphoric rush
Type 2: Avoiders
- People who fear the consequences whether it be success or failure. Usually fears the judgement of others.
- Skill deficit, lack of interest, lack of motivation could all cause to breed an avoider
Type 3: Decisional Procrastinators
- People who have difficulty making a decision.Usually caused by fear.
Fears
- Perfectionism is the underbelly of the fear of failure.
- Fear of success: Consequences of achieving success such as being responsible of a greater task and being put on a unpleasant spot.
I am an avoider with lack of interest WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO DO HOMEWORK because when on earth will I need to know why Kublai Khan sent Marco Polo on journeys to find ways of the Silk Road???

Yes, please, I'm suffering some of the same problems uwu but the club penguin thing sounds interesting, I was never actually able to go onto the original club penguin cause I never really heard of it until after it shut down...
It's a bad habit of mine.... i want to get rid of it....can you make a video how do i change this type of lifestyle... thanks 💝
Samiya Sayed you can't. It's like jumping off a plane about 500 feet. Once you've jumped there's no going back
Samiya Sayed yes good idea. I need it too
Willing Nihilist thanks for the tip....I'll try to do the same. 😃
Super Weab... I just want tp stop procrastinating
Willing Nihilist
When I do that, I'm just staring at my homework for an hour thinking whether or not I should attempt making it.
Yep, definitely #1. Motivation just comes in waves as a deadline approaches!
I have some aspects of #2 in me but I'm really a #3 procrastinator. I really enjoy this channel because from the videos that I have watched (mostly on introverts) I've learned much about myself.
avoider
Zenen Himes How is your comment 6 months old?!
???? Lmao 😂😂
Lol
Telling a procrastinator to buy a planner is like telling someone with depression to just cheer up. THIS! So simple, yet so well put!
"Procrastination is a life style"... Truth spoken aloud
I'm procrastinating right now...
My reason for procrastination is definitely #3...I've been struggling with the fear of failure for a while, but I am working on being better!
The moment she said
"They would rather be perceived as lacking effort than lacking ability"
I realised, yup, that's me... And this is so stupid that I would subconsciously like it more if people found me lazy than if they found me not very talented but hardworking... Thx Psych2Go for putting what I'm subconsciously up to into words, it really makes it easier to fix this wrong mindset!!

Mistake in the title!
*Which* one are you?
Thanks for noticing!
where is the mistake
I'm definitely type 3 (I also have borderline personality disorder). I used to be type 1, and I'd actually get my work done EVENTUALLY. Now I worry so much that I never get anything done :(
I'm definitely 2 and 3. I hate making decisions and choosing along with the fear of others judging me for my lack of skill. I'd much rather people think I'm deciding not to do it which is why I'm so poor at the topic than let them know I'm horrible even if I try. It's terrifying.

No, I'm just lazy af.
Im watching this instead of doing my homework *laughs nervously*
"Why one are you?"
LOL! We fixed it now. Thanks!
Not very precise. I don't "seek" thrills. It's only then that I'll act because then I must act, not because I enjoy this distress. I simply have a hard time concentrating on stuff I'm not directly interested in and only have to do because of external motivations.

The information in this video was presented real well. Good job 🙌
Woodnote thank you! 😊
All three.
I'm pretty sure, that I am a procrastinator too, but I can't completely relate to these. I tell myself, that a few minutes would be enough. As an example in the morning, when you have to go to school, I set my alarm at six in the morning, but I get up at twenty minutes past seven. Thats 20 minutes from the beginning of school. The reason why I set my alarm at six is, that I would be able to enjoy some time in my bed, before I have to get up. The reason I get up that late is, that I tell myself, I would be able to get ready in 10 minutes. I need 10 more for the way.
I just rather skip brushing my teeth or eating breakfast.
I do the same with learning for exams or similar stuff. I trust myself, that the result is going to be okay even if I put the least effort in it. Somehow it will work anyway. Why learning if everything will be alright, even if I play games now?

i know i could be better in school if i actually studied but if you make As without studying it's really hard to incentivize yourself.
if you know someone else will clean up your mess then why learn to clean? the problem is when i expect an extension or something and put less than the minimum effort in to something.
i used to eat breakfast, i used to do a lot of things in the morning that i gave up on for the sake of time. and honestly... i still think it's worth it.
is this truly a problem or do i just have different priorities? maybe both?
Nathan Edwards
Same. Why trying hard to change something if it is actually working.
Did I just find my soulmate or something ?!
Key-chan nice to meet you!
I didn’t know fear of success was a thing until now, and it’s absolutely true D:
I’m afraid that I’ll have to keep a good image, give speeches, and get put in the spotlight etc.
The way this video is well-constructed, makes me jealous thinking how I could've easily written my essays like this. 😧😥
I 'm watching this video about procrastination to cure my procrastinating habit while procrastinating and typing this comment instead of doing my homework.
I'm the 2nd because I don't want to do any effort due to the fact that if I fail everybody will think that I'm dumb.

But type 1 is also me because when I have no time to finish anything is when I truly start to finish some things and pull off a work not too bad.
am procrastinating right now
I’m a decisional procrastinator, but not too an extreme extent. I care and focus too much on my future self to screw future me over like that. I’ll delay situations and decisions, but only as far as I’m slightly uncomfortable with.
Also, procrastination nation woot woot!
I'd say I relate to the second one. Without realizing it at the time, I have been avoiding doing certain activities, mostly because I just don't feel like doing them at the moment.
Thank you for the tips !
Oh, this video looks interesting, I'm gonna watch it later... Maybe tomorrow...
This was great. So easy to follow and enlightening.
CuriousSomeone wonderful! We're glad you found it helpful :)
Def. #3 it’s always fear of making a wrong decision and make the excuse of having it done on my “own” time because it’s not enough on their time. I didn’t realize I was actually procrastinating. Smh
I'm a mix of #1 and #2. Sometimes I'm the thrill seeker, sometimes whatever I'm supposed to be doing is just too boring for words...
I'm procrastinating watching this video right now. Thank you, Psych2Go.
I happen to be all three, thank you very much
The fact that I'm currently procrastinating and you post this video gets me wondering how you know 🤔😂
Procrastinating by watching this video
This video gave me anxiety, and now I'm sweating...
All of it except no.1 the general description of fear of failure and perfectionistic tendencies, and no 2 and 3
I'm probably closest to the "Avoider" type, but there's nothing here that nails my procrastination habbit and the reasoning behind it.
For me, there's no fear of anything, it's just the task I'm procrastinating is so god awfully boring that I end up doing it when I have absolutely nothing else to do.
That episode of Spongebob where he has to write an essay is like an extreme version of my type of procrastination.
I’m definitely #2. I had a castle drawing to do and I can only draw simple things like flowers and the Deathly Hallows, so I procrastinated. It also doesn’t help that my friend is one of the best drawers in my grade, if not the school
Relate to no. 2 the most
Love the drawings!
When you don’t wanna watch the video right now and procrastinate and put in in watch later
Is it normal to be the 3 types at the same time?
Geminilicious it is!
I’m definitely 2 and 3. I kind of get the thrill seeker rush on accident every now and then, but honestly deadlines barely motivate me anymore.
Just as I was watching another video while I should be studying, I get this as a notification.
Looking back at myself, I'm somewhere between The Thrill-Seeker & The Avoider. I almost always did larger school assignmnets or projects at the last minute successfully (they were all successful, but not all were done at the last mimute, hence the *almost always* part). I also tended to avoid some assignments because I happened to think that I Was unprepared for the job or it was simply boring (this kind of lead to me becoming a Thrill-Seeking Procrastinator).
Is it possible to be a mix of 2 and 3?
No, it's not.
You can only be one of those labeled things.
Instead of doing my work on time, I procrastinate for months (even years) and then once the deadline has already passed I drink a crap load of coffee and do absolutely EVERYTHING in a week without any sleep whatsoever... #IBLife kill me now
I'm definitely avoider. I really really want to work but just thinking about it makes me stressed and I just can't concentrate for more than 15 minutes at best, I have to take a break then, but that's only when practicing violin, other school work that can't be done in a few minutes I just can't get to sometimes even starting, it's so frustrating, I hate myself, I hate that I'm so unmotivated and that I procrastinate so much, because I know that it'll only make everything so much worse until I'm eventually driven to a panic attack and then I'm tired and I continue not being able to do anything unless I'm completely pressured to and it's just a cycle of delaying the inevitable with pointless distractions and I have no idea how to get out of it I hate it all so much.
I know it has been years since you wrote this but it's exactly my experience as well.
@@wiegraf9009 Oh, man... I've completely forgotten about this comment. Thanks for reminding me of it, genuinely. Makes me feel less ashamed for trying to get help now when I remember that this has been a genuine problem my whole life, lol :')
@@pearlyp9898 Hang in there!
@@wiegraf9009 Thank you!! You, too :)
all 3!!
I love you guys and your channel! Keep it going! ^^
Nevolution thank you! We're happy to hear you're liking the channel!
All three types sounded like me. But I would say that I don't put off anything just because I like the rush of having to finish in a short period of time... More just that the rush can seem to help me to actually complete tasks (except that I often wait until I don't have enough time left o_o') whereas I might otherwise be... overly perfectionist, I guess, and get work done at a snails pace, and run out of drive/energy for the task(es) since I'm focusing too much on things that aren't so important (or that I can't do anything about).
Anyway, I've had fear of failure (fear of my inability), fear of success (fear of expectation -- which I suppose is fear of my inability to live up to it -- or limelight), and lack of interest all bog me down at times, sometimes in the same instances. Also, I have fear of making decisions, which I think just means that I don't feel informed/wise enough to make those decisions... I've always thought of myself like a cat because they act like the want to come inside or go outside when what they really seem to want is for the door to get left open for them and the option to go in/out to be constantly available. I guess I don't feel comfortable enough with my decision to feel comfortable with the door being closed. But, on the other had, it doesn't really accomplish anything to sit in the doorway. Maybe procrastinators feel like the answers might come to them if they wait long enough. At least that's usually my small hope, since I hate making decisions that I feel uncertain about.
i read somewhere that symptoms of adhd includes chronic procrastination.. and yes i do have (somewhat mild) adhd, and have been procrastinating for as long as i can remember, turning up homework’s etc late all the time and in turn doing badly at school. as of now i am (unsurprisingly) procrastinating lol. if only i knew how to stop and learned to work my ass off:/ and it’s not only in school, i literally procrastinate almost anything and i hate it bc i’m not even being productive like i literally just plop in my bed the moment i’m home.. but ultimately i believe i’m a #2 type procrastinator, or maybe even a type 3 as i have hella low self esteem🤧
All Three!
I found the perfeect explanation of what I feel.
Ill watch this later
Am definitely the first two, especially the first one growing up when it came to projects. Now as an adult I procrastinate more in my personal life than at work. Bizarre to say the least...😂😂
I'll tell you what type of procrastinator I am later.
Haha!
I knew planner doesn't work! I've been hearing over and over that planning makes you been able to do tasks but it just never works for me. It just makes me feel worse because now i have a list of things i'm not capable of finishing.
I was the last type, for sure. I always told myself, "If I never try, I can never do it wrong."
Mostly first but with elements of others.
Why am I one?
I'm defenetly the no.1 (and no. 2)
It kinda became a habbit of mine to finish my task on the last minute. Sometimes, I even "gave" my friends a head start to finish an exam... Idk if this is plain lazy or lack of motivation.
Yes
Avoider and decisional. It’s funny how my slacking off is rooted partly in perfectionism.
I'm definitively the avoider, and I think it's the picture I have of myself and the fear of failure that hinders me. I haven't found anything to help coping with this yet, so I' open to suggestions.
Which*
Depression deprives me of motivation, anxiety makes me fear success and failure at the same time, shit personality makes me stand still and do nothing.
I'm 1 and 3
A lot of people question me because most of the time I ace my tests and quizzes and I always tell them that I studied last minute but they wouldn't believe me. It's actually the truth, I always study last minute because I like no scratch that love the pressure idk why but even though my studying habit is messed, I still get hella good grades.🤷😲
I was like that in school too, but it came back to bite me after graduation. Adulting requires consistency. I wish I had learned that in school.
yep, decisional.
school overwhelms me overall.
