TIL my simple question about forum rules took me two hours to answer

I wanted to post a question here about the best way to phrase a request for help. I spent like 45 minutes just reading the community guidelines, trying to make sure I got it right. Then I kept rewriting my post because I was worried it was too vague or off topic. It literally took me over two hours to finally hit submit on a single question. Has anyone else gotten stuck like this just trying to ask something the right way?

Ever read about analysis paralysis? That's basically spending so much time overthinking a simple choice you freeze up. Sounds like you got hit with a bad case of it trying to post.

Actually, @davidmurphy, I was just having a tech glitch. My post kept failing to send.
