Here’s to all the people like me in the world that simply can’t make a decision about anything. I sit there, ask for other opinions, have an internal breakdown and just try to pick one side or the other. It’s extremely frustrating to know that you have this problem in the moment, but after, you laugh about the difficulty you had in making that one simple decision. Can you possibly relate to at least one of these ten struggles of being an indecisive female?
1. Deciding what to eat at a restaurant.
You sit down at a restaurant with your family and you’re starving. You look at the menu and it’s 11 pages long with food dishes ranging from salads and flatbreads to pasta and the best Italian pizza around. You look at the menu while the waitress serves you drinks and your appetizers and you continually tell them you need another minute. How can you narrow down an 11 page menu? What if I want a caesar salad, a double american cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and chicken Alfredo with linguini. Deciding what to eat (since food is so important) is extremely difficult!
2. Not being able to pick one song to play in the car (so you play 1 minute intervals of every song that possibly comes to mind).
You have a long car ride to your favorite vacation spot for the first two weeks of August but wait, what playlist do you play? Do I play the summer country top hits, the pump up playlist to get ready for the lounging days at the beach or the hip hop jams by the Queen B herself. As a solution, you create your own mixtape where you jump from playlist to playlist in one minute intervals. Internally telling yourself that you’ll release a mixtape in the months to follow.
3. Big decisions need a one month time window.
You make your Christmas list at the beginning of November. Indecisive rule of thumb: A list takes planning and lots of brainstorming (this goes without saying).
4. Going to the nail salon and looking at the color selection for a good 10 minutes.
What I have learned is to go into a nail salon with a color choice already in mind. This way you aren’t staring at the wall for more than 15 minutes trying to decide whether to get cotton candy pink or coral orange.
5. Deciding what flavor of ice cream to get (casually testing every single flavor they offer customers).
You walk into your favorite ice cream shop and are continually amazed at their flavor selection. Completely confused at what to get, one taste-test turns into seven... BUT you eventually decide to get your regular (chocolate chip cookie dough) because you know that will never get old.
6. Going shopping... what color to get in which style (the purple V-neck, the regular cut or the scoop neck?)
“But what color goes more with my skin complexion and eye color” as you stare in the mirror hanging up two shirts of the same style in two different colors in front of your body. After looking in the mirror for a matter of ten minutes, you buy both because you simply cannot decide.
7. To curl or to straighten your hair?
An internal debate I have on the regular. Straightening is easy, but curling is different. What if it rains? What if it’s windy? Maybe I should try and do half straight, half curly?
8. Frustrating those around you by your indecisiveness
The people that love you most are the ones that are most annoyed with the fact that you can’t make an acute decision. This is because they are the ones you’re with at the restaurant, at the nail salon or at the mall. SORRY, I seriously have an issue.
9. What flavor iced coffee to order? (Why, Dunkin Donuts must you always torture me?)
Sure Dunkin, take away the only flavor that I actually liked (R.I.P Butter Pecan). Now, I sit there in line contemplating what flavor to try…..and yet I still can’t find one that I like. Maybe I should just try one of each into one medium iced coffee?
10. Trying to decide if you like a picture you took or not (I look good… wait, my hair, and oh my goodness, my arms. I like it, but we need to take at least five more).
