11 Signs You Have An Indecisive Friend

Every friend group has an indecisive friend; it's inevitable. All plans are always up in the air because no one can ever decide what to do. Something as simple as getting dressed in the morning could take a good hour and trying to choose what you want for lunch is just a whole other story that we just don't have time for. So whether it's you or your friend who's indecisive, there's no denying that:

Making plans is impossible.

Although you may have texted your friend five hours earlier, they finally just decided that they can hang out today.

Once you make plans, deciding on what to do could take hours.


Finally your friend agreed to put some clothes on and leave the house, but now picking between getting coffee or ice cream will take another three hours. Guess you shouldn't start the car yet...

The answer for everything is “I don’t care… whatever you want!”

It's sweet that your friend cares about what you'd like to do or eat but you could ask them something as simple as, "Should we get Starbucks or Dunkin?" and they will struggle over an answer long enough for you to drive to the other side of the country and back.

It takes longer to pick a movie than it does to watch one.

Netflix was the best and worst thing to happen. Luckily, there are a million options. However, this is also its greatest downfall. You scroll through movie titles for so long that you end up just clicking on a random movie and hoping for the best.

If you want to go out to dinner you need to decide where you're going before you get hungry.

If you wait until you're hungry to bring up the idea of going out to eat, be prepared to starve because this decision consists of looking up menus, directions, and probably a new outfit.

Deciding on who to drive is a BIG deal.

No one ever really wants to drive, but will they ever tell you that? Nope. So get out a pen and paper so your friend can make a chart to calculate all the hours that everyone has driven and then the person who "technically" has driven less will be the one to drive that night.

"You pick!" is their catchphrase.

No matter what the decision is, they somehow always manage to have you decide. Even though you know you've made every decision for you two they always find a time when they half-made a decision and so it's now your turn to decide.

Shopping together is the worst.

You'll have arms full of clothes and they will too until you leave the dressing room and they changed their mind because they really didn't "need" anything. Like, I didn't need anything either but "wants" are a thing too!

They ask you a question, you answer it, and they ponder your answer.


Friend: "Do you think I should wear the green or the blue?"
You: "Blue, definitely!"
Friend: *thinks*
Friend: *thinks*
Friend: *thinks*
After many moments....
Friend: "Hmm.. I don't know... Maybe I'll do the green. What do you think?"

In the end, they most likely won't wear either and will just wear their go-to outfit.

Or, you ask them a question, and they answer you with the same question.

You: "Do you want to go out tonight?"
Friend: "I was just going to ask you the same thing!"
You: "So do you?"
Friend: "Well, do you?"

Dearest friend, if I ask if you want to do something, chances are I want to. If not, I wouldn't have asked!

They can't decide whether or not they're indecisive.

Seriously?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
