I know this pattern quite well myself.
I used it extensively when I had to write my diploma thesis in computer 
science.
When you are writing a diploma thesis, there is just nowhere to hide. 
When people read your work, they will see how good or bad you are. Since 
writing was not my strong side, I was really scared that my professor 
would see how bad I am. So I strongly resisted writing.
Of course I didn't know myself what actually happened. I just kept doing 
all kinds of other things. With the help of my wife and a good friend of 
mine I found out what actually happened inside of me. This was a large 
step for me. I finally overcame my fear of failing and finished my 
thesis. I learned a lot about writing and the result turned out ok for me.
Now I recognize this pattern more easily and can adjust accordingly.

My guess is, that a lot of people actually use this pattern.

Greetings,
    Malte
