Procrastination Root Cause: Fear of Being a Loser

The underlying cause of procrastination is traced back to a deep-seated fear of being perceived as a loser. This fear stemmed from a childhood experience where the individual had to support their father through a potential bankruptcy, instilling a drive to avoid failure at all costs. The pattern of overworking and excessive preparation was a coping mechanism to prevent being labeled a loser, shaping their approach to success and decision-making throughout their life.
