I understand you, sometimes it happens to me.
It's not that you're passive, it's that sometimes you think too much.
It's a bad habit that I found difficult to get rid of. I used to think and plan too much. The result: It took a long time to do some things I wanted, and therefore, it was wasted time.
Now I do things without thinking jajajjaja, but it has been satisfying.
I only think too much until I have finished writing. Writing allows me to get most of the thoughts out, so when I go to bed, I can sleep.
It also happens the same to me, sometimes I start writing about something, and I end up finding the solution to my problem
