Why do I have trouble making decisions?..major ones.?!


Question:
At times, I am very indecisive. Anyone else have this problem, how do you deal with it?
Answers:
Because of the fear of making the wrong decision and having to face the consequences of it. Almost all have this problem occasionally, but if you are having it all the time, I would say that you need to work out the issue with a therapist.

I am the most indecisive person ever. I have trouble making small decisions. I'm not quite sure what to do about it or why i'm like this either.. I find it easier to think about things in advance, so i know how to deal with them.

I was the same way but I realized that the reason I had such a hard time making decisions was becuase I was so insecure with myself. Once I stopped caring about what other people thought.then I could finally make my own choices.

dont over think things. Go with it and stick with it even if you make the wrong choice.

thats natural feelings for sensetive guys no problem just ask for an advice from good loyal friends .

you might have troubles making decisions because you like options or you usually like the variety your given. if you really have to pick, think about it really hard, and pick what's best for your interest overall!

Yes! It drives my hubby insane too! To deal with it, I am trying to get better at choosing the first thing that is attractive to me.I am also trying to put less importance on certain decisions that are not so life changing(it saves time)..it sounds like you are a perfectionist(like myself)..it is dificult to overcome this issue but you can do it.it just takes time.and remember I am in the same boat as you are!

Yes, I am very indecisive at times and I have come to realize that it is so time consuming and I am wasting precious time. Try to remember this when you are making decisions, I think it will help you. Life is too short for indecisiveness! I hope this helps!

Think of all the different possible outcomes to the problems. Then you need to work them out very carefully. You should look at this several times to get this right.

It is a good idea to discuss your views with other people, friends, family (but people who are trust worthy). But one must be warned that they may be wrong and so after all this, it is better to come to your own conclusion about what you think to thier replies.

Experience is a good way of helping your self. think of things that have happened and use your expierence as a guide to help you decide.

I think everyone has trouble making major decisions.

You have trouble because you are battling with too many choices or you do not like the choices you are given. I try to figure out what I "need" first, verses what I "want" and this exercise helps eliminate many choices so that I am not overwhelmed. When my need for something super cedes my wants, I can justify my decision and not regret it later. I often suffer from "buyer's remorse" and that used to paralyze me from making decisions. I overcame that by accepting the consequence of my decision. If you can handle whatever comes after the decision then the decision itself gets easier and easier.

stay calm.

Making a decision means committing to something. So do you have trouble making commitments? If so fear of making the wrong choice could be whats standing in your way. Its OK to make a choice and have it be the wrong one, its how we learn what the right ones are, (for ourselves). Almost everyone has this problem to some degree or another and self confidence is an issue for those of us who have trouble making decisions. We are not confident in our abilities. Building self confidence comes from taking the leap and making those decisions. I know its tough but not deciding is a decision too. Its a decision not to take responsibility. So, go with your gut, your first responce and see how it goes. You'll be surprised by how often you are right and this will help build your self confidence. So, JUST DO IT! If it helps make a list of pros and cons or ask advise from someone whose opinion you value and trust. But don't let life lead you around by the nose. After all its your life, so, you decide whats best for you!
