I can kinda identify with reading too much on stuff, when I was like 15 or so I set out to find answers because things didn't make sense and I was/am a huge information junkie. Like I still cannot even walk through an area without reading all the signs and posters and everything.
Anyways, I would just read and read. At one point I read every pua's work I could find as well as psychology from legit sources. Dozens and dozens of books, seminars everything
That kind of information tends to paralyze you from taking action though you have all this stuff floating in your brain but it's theory and not personal experience. So you come to a situation where your trying to decide the logical course of action that is +EV (expected value). It's everything is in a old school filing cabinet and your like where is that and does it fit this situation the best?
Where as someone who has calibration is like a cray supercomputer being like several moves in advance? Yep that's this.
People probably won't listen but the key to that drive to know stuff is to create your own knowledge of everything from experience. Not in the meta concepts that are discussed here all the time. But the little stuff micro movements, little voice tone changes etc.
That's why I moved onto poker. I wanna know why you took an extra second longer to bet, why you change your cbet size. Why everything.

Here is a relevant article to this very point.

Before I came to Naturalfreedom I was heavily into the same shit as Altair. However, I picked up an alternative activity to give me distance from being consumed with my quest for knowledge.
Ever since I came here, I've been aggressively learning from experience. I read enough on the forums to get me started. I still don't know all the concepts on the forum, but I'm content with learning them at my own pace.
I have pimp books that I only read for fun because I'm busy. I picked up video games again recently to give me a break from poker.
I'm actively structuring my mind to allow me to quit smoking so that I can enjoy sports again and have another activity to build off of.
Do I still need to work on myself? Yes, I'm doing it in different capacities now. My road to indifference and coming to peace with myself has led me to new music and new thoughts. I'm actually changing and thinking less about women. It's like I only think about them when I have absolutely nothing else to think about or when one talks to me or attempts to initiate contact in a subtle or overt way.
