Apparently, it's possible for some people go about their daily lives picking and choosing and making decisions without a second thought. I know they sound like mythological creatures, but I swear they actually exist. They're all so cool and casual, making important life decisions like what to eat for dinner all willy-nilly. That's not you. Not even close. Indecisive people like us know the truth about decision making (it sucks) and know how to properly handle every decision that comes our way (panic until it's decided for us). Sadly, there are some decisions that we can't escape. Seemingly small and virtually insignificant to a normal human being, these everyday situations are bound to be your demise.
1. When someone passes you the aux cord, but you'd rather jump out of the moving car than pick a song.
So many choices. Overwhelmed by the possibilities, you pick a weird, confusing playlist of Taylor Swift, J. Cole, Twenty One Pilots, and Thomas Rhett. No one is into it. Everyone is uncomfortable.
2. Going out to eat is a constant battle.
"Uh pizza? I don't care. No wait, Thai food. Or tacos! Wait, wait, can we have ice cream for dinner?"
3. Actually, all food-related decisions are pretty rough.
Everything is a delicious gift from the gods and you want it all. Or none of it. You can't decide. Or maybe that one thing your mom had that one time. Or just a salad. No, you're not a rabbit, you want real food. Oh god, the waiter is coming.
4. Picking a new show to watch on Netflix is a nightmare you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy.
You've seen every episode of "The Office" twelve times now. Maybe you should watch something by Shonda Rhimes. She usually knows what she's doing, right? Netflix shouldn't be hurting you like this, but it's always the ones you love most that cut you the deepest.
5. Oh and your love life? Good joke.
Ha. A new crush appears every 48 hours because you can't figure out which one is the right one or you'll keep going back to someone that's comfortable because that's the easiest option. May the odds be ever in your favor you poor indecisive soul.
6. Communicating with those love interests includes an insane amount of mixed signals and confusion.
One minute you're flirting, then you decide you're being too forward, so you call them "buddy" and send a picture of your feet. But then that's weird so you send a smirk emoji. Then you wondered why they haven't gotten all the hints you've been sending.
7. Getting ready takes a solid hour longer than it should because you can't decide what to wear.
Getting ready usually makes your room look like a tornado of hoarders has flown through it. Piles of clothes and costumes and shoes are everywhere, because those first 17 outfits just really didn't cut it.
8. Birthdays are actual torture.
A full 24 hours of people asking you what you want to do, where you want to go, and what you want to eat. Everything is your choice. *shivers*
9. Spending time with another indecisive person is the most stressful and frustrating experience of your entire life.
"What do you want to do?"
"I don't care. What do you want to do?"
"Doesn't matter."
10. Hearing the words, "Just make a decision, it's not that hard," immediately puts you in a bad mood.
No. Just no.
11. When it comes down to it, you are capable of making decisions. You just don't like it.
Decisions suck, even the small ones. But you'll get through them. Maybe. Probably.
