When you are faced with having to make a decision how do you do it? Do you make pro/cons lists, ask friends for advice, just sleep on it or something else.
I too find that different types of decisions require different levels of processing and thought. Some I know I can trust my instinct and be come to the right conclusions. Others require me to be more methodical.
If it is a somewhat emotional decision, that is where I try to be more mindful and consider the options more carefully instead of just going with my first reaction. Fact based decisions I can get to quickly in most cases.
However, in general, I am a decisive person. Work requires that of me too.
Or because I have too much info and both situations seem right. And all that info paralyses me. I often have to remind myself that if both decisions seem okay, then just PICK ONE. Sometimes finally making a decision takes less energy than all the ruminating over it. And often one decision is just marginally better or different than the other one.
Everyone calls me Mr what if. I think things through almost to a fault before I decide to go ahead.I’m an over thinker so I go thorough every possible pro and con and possible outcome. Once I pretty much have my made up, I ask people for their opinion. If they have a valid point I’ll consider changing my mind.
Ya but then you just have everyone trying to figure out who you "really" are.Change my screen name and ask on this board

To an extent, this may be true. However, there are usually (or at least often) facts involved in emotional decisions. The decisions are emotional because we tend to want to ignore the facts or for the facts to not be true. That is why I find I need to step back and try to approach it with a clear head.I am an over thinker in general.

For me it would depend on the decision. Some times talking it through helps sometimes it just makes things worse. And sometimes it is just not something you want to talk to anyone about.I never ask anyone, I might sleep on it, but in the end it will probably be a decission based on a feeling
I call that feeling intuition. And it’s usually right.I never ask anyone, I might sleep on it, but in the end it will probably be a decission based on a feeling
