When one is so excited about things that they become overwhelmed and are unable to do the very things they are excited about. Like when a puppy plays so much it exhausts itself to the brink of unconsciousness. This kind of overwhelm is often mistaken for anxiety, but it is in fact The Puppy Problem.
Person 1: Is something wrong with Tim? I just saw him trying to talk to this cute girl and he was physically shaking and stuttering his words and then he just left mid-sentence.

Person 2: Nah man he's just excited. Apparently it's called the puppy problem. Just give him some space and he'll be fine.
