I'm one of those people that can figure things out. Everyone sees me doing that. The thing is, I get so nervous. I'm so often afraid to try to fix things. The anxiety levels rise to a maximum degree. I'm sure I'm not alone in this, but of course I'm a guy so I'm not supposed to acknowledge it.
For me, it is almost like I'm afraid that I will fail. If I'm afraid that I will fail, the path that I travel on this is that why do this repair? Why screw it up? After all, I have to be perfect. This is what I was taught as a little boy. If you don't think that conditioning or teaching by example and force doesn't permanently mess with your mind, let me set you straight - it does!
The anxiety though about going into the unknown of a repair and quite possibly messing things up or not being able to complete it is paralyzing. It truly is. Maybe that's the procrastination by men when it comes to doing items on the honey-do list. Okay, I wouldn't say it is the only reason, but since men don't talk about things like this, it very likely could be.
