I just heard this woman say “you procrastinate because you are afraid of rejection. It’s a defense mechanism, you are trying to protect yourself without even trying.” and I think I just realized what was wrong with me.
Yep, this is a very, very common reason for procrastinating. It’s also why procrastination, even though it’s often associated with laziness, is a fairly common trait in a lot of people with anxiety and perfectionism issues.
Also, from a bahavioural perspective, you “learn” to procrastinate. When you feel worried or anxious about something you have to do and then you procrastinate, the first thing you feel is relief. This is negative reinforcement and it takes time to “unlearn” procrastinating, because for a lots of things you don’t get rewards right away.
