I left it as a single word because I didn't feel like expanding on it at the time, but the simple truth is that I'm lazy when I don't know what to do and I'm too embarrassed to ask for help. I'm physically active and I have countless irons in the fire, but if I don't know what my next step is I don't naturally search for it.

By way of example: There's a side project I'm working on, and I realized I don't have the knowledge I need to make it work. I've let that project stagnate because learning how to do better makes me feel like I wasn't qualified for the task I undertook in the first place.

I'm getting better about it. Being able to acknowledge it has helped. I won't always be like this.
