What do you feel when you’re being indecisive?
I know what I feel when I try to weigh the pros and cons of something and can’t make a decision. I feel drained. Being an independent person I’ve made all my decisions without anyone’s help. Still, many. times I get caught up in the cycle of indecision, and it’s not always related to big things. It can be anything from big to small, from relocating to a new place, changing jobs, to choosing between two outfits for a Monday or two dishes for dinner. It can be anything.
As a fire sign, I behave like a Libra sometimes, weighing all the benefits or drawbacks of a particular subject, which is not a bad thing. A person should always think before jumping into anything. But the feeling of being indecisive can be frustrating. I feel like I have some kind of inability, which affects my overall confidence and makes me feel like a zero. It becomes worse when it leads me to overthink and hate myself. Yes, I hate myself when I’m lost in my head, creating all the scenarios about a particular topic and cant reach a conclusion. I scold myself for behaving like a dumb person, like, How can I be so stupid? It seems hard to win, especially when the fight is with your own thoughts.
But this is not true. Being indecisive about something doesn’t mean we are stupid or incapable. It’s just that we are human who are prone to overthinking. I know what I have to do when I find myself stuck for a long time. I take a step back and remind myself that I have the power to make decisions because each choice will teach me something as always.
If you struggle with indecisiveness, know that you are not alone and you do have the ability to make any decision any time after analyzing, but make sure not to overanalyze because when we overanalyze, overthink, or over consider anything, we feel stuck. Going back and forth on the same topic may leave us powerless in taking action, so it’s better not to let it go to that level and to get lost in your head. You just need to be confident enough to deal with the consequences or challenges associated with each choice because they will help you grow eventually.
Please share your experience about this feeling or how you overcome it and in the comment section.
Thanks.
Now I know that I am not the only person and this is not my personality. Yes, I do feel powerless, and not confident about myself. I just now don’t overthink and do whatever I like and think that whatever happens will teach me a lesson. However, this is life all about. We overthink because we do not want to suffer or to have any kind of loss, whether its money or any loved one. We try to protect ourselves in any way and thus, overthinks scenarios about everything. That is not a bad thing I would say, just shouldn’t be doing it more often or in excess.
