Indecision

[Keroin]

No, not indecisive. Don't have a problem making decisions although sometimes I get lazy about routine stuff. Like if I'm buying a muffin in the morning, I often get the same kind. I like it a lot so don't tire of it and it saves me making a decision in the morning. Or going out for lunch...I'm a bit of it's Monday so I'm having lunch at restaurant X.

Some people might think it's because I have difficulty making decisions, butit's more that I can't be bothered over the little stuff. I'm flexible enough that I can change it up if I have to but I have enough stress in my life without sweating over the little stuff.


I don't usually find big decisions that difficult. My logical analytical nature steps up.

This. Yup.

I eat the same breakfast about 6 days out of 7. I wear the same two t-shirts and the same two pairs of pants day after day after day. Etc, etc. Small stuff is entirely unimportant to me.

The last time I went for a haircut, I decided to go very short. When I told the girl, she began quizzing me on styles, showing me photos. I said, "I trust you, just do something that looks OK and requires little maintenance. It's just hair. If I don't like it, it will grow back."

Big decisions come down to either logic or burning desire. In both cases, the choice is almost always an easy one because either the facts point to one clear decision or what I want makes any other choice irrelevant.

Now, chocolate cupcake or chocolate pate...hmmm, tough choice. Probably just go with both.

No it's not a problem. I can decide (like I do when my preferred muffin is gone) I just decide to have the same kind because really it doesn't matter and I'm happy with it. I make decisions at work all the time...people come to me to make decisions...so it's more a case of relieving stress to reduce the number of decisions that I have to make.

Interesting question. For the most part no. But if that was the case, the decision is easier, because there`s no down side, regardless of which I choose. It doesn`t matter which choice I make...each is equally good and bad. I have more than once not liked the answer that rational thought gave me though. We don`t always like what`s best for us.

I hadn't thought of equal pros and cons making a decision easier. I still get caught up on the unknowns that could turn out to be a pro or con. It certainly makes sense that the decision should be easier though. I need to remember that the next time I'm faced with a decision like that.

I'm not generally the least bit indecisive. I have random moments of it but mostly I make decisions easily and stick to them.

If my friends are going to New Orleans I'm sure as shit going if I can possibly get away and afford it. It's one of my FAV places to visit. If I were singled and could afford to live in the quarter, working on my art I'd do it in a heart beat! LOL

I want to see your art. I'm trying to imagine what style you have. I'll have to think on that and PM you.

Now I want to go to New Orleans. It is a great place.

Yeah no, I just want an activities coordinator or assistant to figure out the stuff I don't really care about on the conscious level for me. Obviously it would be like "what kind of food do you want?" "Light, non oily, cold" or "Hot and filling" and poof, there it would be.

That would be a great way to have variety while still not having to make the actual decision. As far as food goes, I tend to choose the same thing over for a time because I don't have to make the decision.

I can think of all kinds of tasks for an assistant that would make life easier. Mapping out the route for a day trip so efficiency will allow the most to be made of time, shopping for groceries and other household items, etc.

This. Yup.

So even when what you want is completely illogical, it still wins out?

As far as the two chocolates, both is definitely the way to go!
