Psychology of a Person Who Procrastinates Everything

The deadline is tomorrow. They've known about it for weeks. But they're scrolling, cleaning, doing literally anything except the task that needs to be done. Then panic sets in at the last minute. Sound familiar? Chronic procrastination isn't about laziness or poor time management—there's deep psychology behind people who put off everything, and it reveals fear, perfectionism, and emotional patterns most people don't recognize.

This video explores the real reasons why some people procrastinate compulsively. From fear of failure and perfectionism to ADHD and executive dysfunction, chronic procrastinators aren't irresponsible—they're often paralyzed by anxiety and self-doubt. Discover how the fear of not being perfect makes starting feel impossible, why some people self-sabotage to protect their self-image, and how emotional regulation issues turn tasks into overwhelming threats.

Learn about the psychology of task aversion and why certain activities trigger avoidance, how childhood pressure creates adults who freeze under expectations, why procrastination provides temporary relief from anxiety, and the difference between laziness and genuine psychological barriers.
