My definition of dead money is chips commited by people who have folded. No one who put in chips has folded yet, not even the BB, so wouldn't say there is a dead money here. It's just a 3bet or more specific squeeze with two highcards, which is good blockers and reasonable equity when called, which should realize fine at your stack depth.

If weak players call with hands that you're doing well against, it's just a value squeeze, and clearly the best play.
The other point there was also that you can't call preflop. That's losing money. You can also just fold, that's totally fine.

There is a possible straight possible and you have second pair 4way. It's simply too weak to bet even for a single bet. Unless the other guys call you with 8x, 6x, and other weak draws, which they shouldn't, you are behind when called here.

Don't make simple excuses, don't say "haha". Poker is harsh capitalism. Do not allow yourself to be soft on mistakes.
What does "I tend to overanalyse" mean? It's an empty statement, to take the blame off and designed to make you feel good perhaps. This will not move you forward.
Identify your mistake clearly. That's the only way to learn from it.
Sorry if it comes off harsh but I always try name it how I see it.
