Are you an indecisive person? Not sure? Well put it this way, did you or did you not spend a few seconds hovering your thumb or cursor over this title before clicking? I’m just kidding, but let me tell you, I know it’s not easy. I’m one of those poor indecisive souls too; unable to make any decision at all sometimes because the idea of getting it wrong is truly mortifying. Here are 15 signs that you’re an indecisive person too.
How on earth are you supposed to know how you’ll feel in a few months time? Even a few weeks in advance is too much pressure.
It’s not about needing to make the right call, it’s the paralysing fear that you’ll make the wrong one.
It doesn’t matter if you got your affairs in order the night before, there’s just no guarantee you’ll feel the same way the next morning. I must change my outfit at least twelve times every morning before I leave for uni or work; I’m almost habitually late and am still never satisfied with my decisions.
I hate this about myself but I just can’t help it. I’ll deliberate over the mac and cheese with kale or the veggie club sandwich with soup for fifteen minutes, decide on the former, and then see a vegan Philly cheese steak with chips go to another table. I literally screech my chair back and run to the kitchen every time.
Usually it’ll arrive and I’ll declare gloomily that I should have gone fore the mac and cheese.
You’ll never know, just accept that now.
It doesn’t really make a difference though, you’re just waiting for someone else to make the decision for you.
How can you ask such a broad question like that? Do these people write down their answers beforehand just to make you look bad?
It’s not a bad reflection on you, you just can’t bear the idea of making the wrong call. Even the greatest leaders can make the wrong call – they do it all the time in fact, it’s just that they don’t give as much of a damn as you.
It’s a shame because you shouldn’t ever question what you’re capable of, but it definitely is a factor that weighs heavily upon the indecisive person’s ability to lead and feel worthy of influencing others.
Wasn’t it Shakespeare who said “our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt”?
Pressure. Alleviated. Pain. Gone.
Hopefully.
It’s not like you’re thinking it about everyone who makes decisions for you, you just worry that people will think it about you when you do it.
