If you think that being a doer would be a downgrade, it seriously sounds like you should try it out.

Why go through life imagining you are better than other people when there is a way for you to know for sure?

Exactly, if anything a doer is a step above the thinker - when you do you can review and adapt to be better next time. If you just think you never actually know what the outcome would have looked like, just what you believe.

That what I mean a bit in my reply above about breaking work down in a scrum/lean way and just doing the individual pieces and not thinking just about the great big scary whole.
