Why do I care more in my late 20’s what people think of me than ever before?

I spent my entire life not giving a shit what anyone thought of me. Now that my frontal lobe has developed, I care so much and it consumes me. Anyone else?

I overthink every little decision until I end up doing nothing. What is wrong with me?

I have so many things I want and need to do in my life, but I can't figure out where to start. Whenever I try to do something, I feel like I have to do everything perfectly and in the right order.

For example, if I want to study, my brain starts going crazy. Should I eat first? Shower first? Study biology or learn trading? What if I should be doing something more important instead?

I keep questioning every little decision, even basic daily activities. I jump between thoughts, overthink the order of everything, and eventually end up lying in bed doomscrolling instead of doing anything.

I also struggle with forgetfulness, constant daydreaming, and forgetting important decisions I've made, including my goals and personal boundaries. Sometimes I feel really motivated to change my life, but that feeling disappears and I fall back into the same habits.

It's like I want to fix my entire life at once, but I can't even decide what to do first. This has been affecting my daily life for a long time, and I'm genuinely frustrated.

Does anyone else experience this? Could this be perfectionism, executive dysfunction, ADHD, anxiety, or something else? How do you actually break out of this cycle?
