Indecisive

That's my middle name. No matter what aspect of my life I come across, I just can't seem to make up my mind on something. I almost feel like, in some sense, that I'm two different people, each with their own decisions and conflicting opinions. I see this indecisiveness in everything I do - games, entertainment, clothes, restaurants, hobbies, passions, majors in college, grad schools - even what I want for dinner sometimes.

But is it a problem to be so indecisive? I guess part of my reasoning for this behavior is my "what if" thought - the one where I pick one choice and quickly hesitate, thinking, what if I chose the other one?

A recent solution I've stumbled across is to weigh out the options and consequences of all my possible decisions. It turns out that a lot of them really don't matter, like what I decided to eat for the night, pizza or breakfast? But some of them really do matter, and I need to think about those more.

I need to distinguish between my hormones, my emotions, and my reasoning. With that clarity, I have my answer.
