I think we have some things in common in that way. I get hyperfocused on something for a few days/weeks without a plan to enact anything. Like you said, there are some western chauvinism going on in our brains to make us say "everything depends on you! You must be actively working towards revolution at all time or otherwise you're a fake." Definitely some ingrained individualist nonsense. Personally, I know of a few activities that will help me "reset" when I get hyperfocused on something. And again, these are all just strategies to live with myself. There's not easy solution to brain worms, it just takes time and experience and an open mindset.
