Limiting yourself to what you know. The opposite of "thinking outside the box".
Originating from transportation, automatically thinking you need to use a car to get to your destination; where instead you could use a motorbike, train, tram, bus, scooter, or any number of vehicles that have less or more than four wheels.

Janet didn't come up with any ideas, she's holding herself back with her four-wheeled thinking.
Sure you could do it that way, but that's some four-wheeled thinking right there.

When I was at the dinner table with my friend, I looked over at him and he looked like he had something on his mind, I told him. You seem to be Thinkative

Means if someone is being thoughtful or kind and or smart, thinkative can be a vary good thing to say if you are at lost for words but you admire someone.

An exhortation that, taken at face value, is actually good advice, except that when people tell you to do it, they don't ACTUALLY mean "Think for yourself", they mean "Reject mainstream news sources, and trust fringe, loony ones". On the rare occasion that they don't mean this, they still mean "Think for yourself, and agree with me!" At no time, when anybody ever tells you to think for yourself, does the thought ever cross their mind that you could possibly think for yourself, and reach a different conclusion from the one that they reached, or one that is even opposite to the one that they reached.
"Vaccines are poison, and chemtrails are causing birth defects! Think for yourself, watch this poorly-researched YouTube video, and you will agree with me!"
