I have always been rather painfully indecisive. People used to joke and say it was because I'm a Libra - and maybe it is - though I never put much stock in astrology. I've also been told it's part of anxiety - the fear of making the wrong choice tends to leave one unable to make any choice. That sounds a bit more like something I can relate to!
Obviously, this does not mean I cannot make any decisions ever, that would be more than a bit absurd. I do make decisions on a daily basis, though they are rarely ever life impacting decisions. Those are the ones I stumble with - the decisions that when made will change something about my life.
My usual method of coming to such a decision is lists - lots and lots of lists. Pros, cons, maybes, what ifs, everything gets written down and analyzed beyond all normal thinking. I ask for advice from those I trust. I over think, to the point of exhaustion and annoyance. In the end, even with all the lists and thinking until I want to scream and the helpful or not so helpful advice of others - I still can't decide what I should do.
THIS DRIVES ME CRAZY. I want few things more than I want to be a person who just goes for it (whatever it may be), a person who just makes those snap decisions and takes a leap of faith that it will all work out the way it is supposed to. Mostly, I want to be able to trust that I am capable of making a good decision, the right decision for myself. Wouldn't that be nice!?!
I've got some decisions to make, and I can already tell my over-thinking brain is kicking into gear. Maybe this time - I'll take that leap of faith, go with my gut and be done with it.
That's a decision I'll have to make when the time comes. :)

You are not alone! Many people have issues with making decisions. We like to live in the Safe Zone! It’s good to have people who take a step ahead a think about the consequences of things before acting on it. If we didn't, we may have more bank robbers and people who get fed up with people in traffic and just start ramming into people. SO with that said, if it is stressing you out, then that is the time to take a step back and take a look at yourself. If you’re over thinking everything start with smaller things and force yourself to make a decision. As they say, people who have not failed have not lived. When we are learning to walk we fall down, we just have to get back up and try again. Learn from your mistakes and move on. Just take it one day at a time, you'll get there, just don't beat yourself up about it. You can do it!
I don't believe in astrology either. None of us Librans do! ;-)
