Collaborative Paralysis Syndrome: Inability to Act When Given Expected Responsibilities

Collaborative Paralysis Syndrome: Inability to Act When Given Expected Responsibilities

This concept describes a psychological pattern where individuals, in a collaborative setting, struggle to take action when assigned a task they were originally responsible for. Instead of executing the task, they appear to begin but quickly become overwhelmed, feeling mentally trapped by overthinking and indecision, leading to inaction.

Key Traits:

1. Illusion of Initiation: Appearing to start a task but making no real progress.

2. Mental Overload: Feeling paralyzed by overanalyzing every step.

3. Avoidance of Responsibility: Becoming stuck in inaction rather than addressing the task.

DSM-5 Perspective:

This behavior may align with traits of:

Avoidant Personality Traits: Fear of failure leading to hesitation and inaction.

Executive Dysfunction (Common in ADHD): Difficulty initiating and organizing tasks.

Perfectionistic Paralysis (Common in OCPD): Overthinking to the point of being unable to proceed.

Note: This concept is not a clinical diagnosis. For personalized support, consult a licensed mental health professional.
