The decider
I am writing this whilst trying to decide with my boyfriend which session we should see the new Star Wars in. I was given free gold class tickets from work earlier in the year and we have been saving them just for this moment. However, now comes the hard part. Actually deciding something.
Some people are great at making decisions, and I am so envious of them. Indecisiveness is one of my biggest flaws. I blame it on the fact that I am a libran, but it is just convenient that my star sign says I am indecisive. Really though, the decisions I struggle the most with are the ones that are really trivial. Those everyday decisions that don’t really have an effect on the bigger picture. Like picking which movie session to go to, and then where to sit in the theatre.
Deciding what to eat is often a massive pain in the arse. There are so many options that could be had! What if I pick one that is inferior to another? When other people are involved it is even worse. What if they don’t like what I pick? How will it effect them if I make this decision etc. So on those things I tend to stay neutral.
Which is fine because I am pretty easy going anyway and I like most things, so usually the outcome doesn’t matter. It does make it hard, however, when your other half also sucks at making decisions. So something like picking a movie time can take us hours. In fact, we still haven’t decided and probably won’t till the weekend because meh.
If you throw a big life changing decision in my face though, I will make that decision so fast. I feel like if it matters, my brain devotes more power to making the decision. The best thing for me would be for someone to just decide on all the things that don’t matter and leave me to think about the big stuff. Because I have a lot of really big stuff going on right now.
