    Hi! Analysis-Paralysis here! I start planning my next move as soon as I complete my current move, but inevitably something changes board status the player before me so I have to recalculate. During recalculation my anxiety creeps up as I’m 100% aware people are waiting on me and I’m faced with 2 choices. 1) attempt to plan an effective move and frustrate others as my anxiety spikes, then once I make the move someone tells me how I could have optimized better. Or 2) say fuck it and just make a playable move to keep things going, ultimately fucking someone else’s game. At least it’s less often that I’m told how if I would just analyze everyone else’s known game state and abilities along with my own that the next move should be obvious to me.

    We’ve managed to find games that I enjoy and can process that I’ll participate in, and the others I’ll wish them well and step back.

      I’m Analysis Paralysis as well, and I just figure that the analysis is part of the fun of the game.
