Being Indecisive and confused

For some reason, indecisiveness happens to be my greatest pet peeve. I have come to despise this trait and wish people spent more time in training themselves to make decisions on time.

How important do you think its important to be able to take decisions on time for the sake of yourself and others? Can decisions be taken back at your own convenience? Is it justified if someone decides on something but down the path change their mind without thinking its impacts on others? Should we stick to our decisions if backing out on them will hurt someone really badly?

PS: I think that people should take a reasonable time before deciding on something. Until then, they should NOT speak but just let the other person know, they are thinking about it. Once they take the decision, they should stick to it. I know it’s not that simple in many situations but then I think it is extremely unfair to back down on your words.

lol, come on..noone has a say on indecisiveness?

i don’t like questions that make u think. :khumar: Read my signature!

On a serious note: Making decisions can be either really easy or really difficult. Depends on the situation.

OMG Really. So you’re saying its all relative? Wow where do you come up with such great wisdom?

Its ok to be indecisive when it comes to small things like what to eat, should I buy these pants, what movie should I see.

For the big things in life like you said just think it through. And if you finally make a decision and realize its the wrong one, then start over again. Life is full of second chances, so whatever you need to do to be happy.

As far as the impact of your decisions on others, at the end of the day you have to live with yourself. If you can live with hurting others then do it. Screw the others, they need to look out for themselves.

:konfused: did u have a bad day or something?

But happiness at the expense of someone else doesn't last for too long.

A very simple example. I've heard many many times two people who mutually decided to be together and then later down the road, one person backs out for whatever reasons. Now, the other person in this situation has been hurt bc he/she has dedicated his/her time, feelings, part of life etc. and this decision will probably impact him/her for a very very long time. Isn't this being selfish? How come not enough thought was put into making a decision in the first place and giving the situation proper thought to avoid hurting someone?

No but Hulahoop Queen posted twice, at least come up with something of value.

Re: Being Indecisive and confused

Indecision always leads to poor decisions simply because the person involved doesn't have the foresight or resolve required to make the right one.

Sometime enough time and effort is put in when making a decision, but it can still be a bad decision for numerous reasons, you have to pick the lesser evil. If person A is staying with person B just because they dont want to hurt B, then A is denying themselves happiness. Like I said if you can live with the guilt of having caused someone pain then go ahead, if you cant then do whatever you need to do to make things right. Whatever you decide at the end of the day, you only need to answer to your conscious.

I was going to post but I was trying to decide whether I should or not.. :hmmm:

Jokes aside…its a good trait to have to make a decision and stick to it. but at the same time, if a person is truly miserable, I think they should allow themselves the flexibility of taking it back.

I do think ur question is a bit broad because there are so many situations where sticking to your decision will cause more damage than help the sitaution..

OMG... That happens to me everytime I go to chipotle. I think I want the burrito bowl, but I'm unsure so I make an instant decision and go with a burrito. After I'm done eating the burrito, I come to realize that I really wanted a burrito bowl. SMH

LOL that happens to me ALL the time. I mean not necessarily for chipotle but just when it comes to picking food hehe. The other day i bought pasta at pizza hut, and then i decided i should have just stuck with a pizza.

I know right. Everytime I go out to eat, I cannot decide lol, I always end of getting the wrong thing. And you shoulda just stuck with the pizza!! lol

Re: Being Indecisive and confused

hehe my friends get really annoyed when i can’t decide on what to eat. oops :halo:

Tell them to hush, its your food and your tid… none of their bizz!! lol

I was indecisive. I lost an amazing guy. It's too late for me to take it back, I regret it now and I don't know if I can ever forgive myself either

yessum stupid
