It's so hard to make decisions. x_x
Quite honestly, this comment is a bit premature. Or past due. As in...doesn't completely apply to the max right this instant, but does a fair amount of the time.
I am constantly reminded of it though because decisions on practically anything are hindered...for me anyway.
Even simple decisions...the chocolate cake or the peanut butter cake...? Well, I'll go with whatever you want. I don't know. You decide. Pretty much, anyone who I am with I hope will make all my decisions. Which is kinda a bad thing cause they dont always wanna do that. Hot dog or Chicken...etc. Usually my mom freely makes the decision for me and I think that's why I have developed my "omg, I'm indecisive. Decide for me instead...ppllease". I don't say that exactly but, you know I exagerate ^_^ Or you don't and you do now.
I am not sure how to learn making decisions like that though. When I can, I weight the values of all the different attributes but then acknowlege the unknowns, oftentimes coming out where I started because that is what hindered my decision in the first place.
It's not just minor things, it's major things as well. It's also a cause of my procrastination, poor communication skills, and I am sure several other vices whose identities are failing me right now.
What do you do when you are wondering about two things, one piled with unknowns and one that you know a lot about but it's not that great? If you go with what you know you can't go wrong, at least nothing "bad" can happen, but that thought will linger. But if you go with what you don't know you might get something 10x better. And if you mess up, can't go back? Doomed. And if you drop what you got and go after something too big...can't get it? Doomed.
It's the doooooom chiippp.
Maybe this is why I don't gamble? Doesn't matter; this is why I don't decide. On Anything. Ok, well, I do decide on some things. But when a hard decision comes up, if I can't pass it on I ignore it. Let what happens come to me. At least to stall it for as long as I can so I can gather whatever else I can.
Still doesn't help though. I am not sure how to toughen myself up to make potential disappointments have a weaker effect on me. I have done so quite a bit from the past and it has helped but I am not sure how far I should go, or what the reprecutions in the long run could be.
So here it is my indecisive debateable dilemma. So. What's your secret?

I try to be scientific.
Decision one will yield x amount of satisfaction at x amount of price
compared to decision two which will yield y amount of satisfaction at y amount of price.
And then after I've made the the choice, I try to only look at the satifaction and not the price.
Sometimes that's the hard part. When you're caught up in the "payment portion" (aka the misery/heartbreak of breaking up with a longtime love).
Anyway, works for me. ;)
