From wikipedia :P

"Analysis paralysis describes a moment when over-analyzing or over-thinking a situation can cause it to become 'paralyzed', meaning that no action was taken therefore a solution is not reached."

I am always wishing to contribute but took no action since I am always trying to find the "best" repo to contribute and also there is a hidden fear of not being good enough... I code since I'm 13 though... I'm 29 now. People call this "The impostor syndrome"
