Here's a question: have you ever spent hours just thinking and browsing through a restaurant’s menu, deciding which dish to order? Do you also have difficulty making smaller decisions in your daily routine?Well, this not-so-uncommon trait is called indecisiveness. It is a good sign that people analyse everything properly taking decisions about their lives. However, if the indecisiveness starts affecting every little decision, it is possible that they could be suffering from decidophobia!
On a usual basis, evaluating the pros and cons which could be associated with each decision is a great way of choosing the next best possible alternative. Still, for some people, the thought and act of making decisions causes extreme anxiety and distress.
It can become a huge nuisance and can constitute a regular disturbing element when this condition starts to disrupt daily functioning and overall quality of life. Some individuals may even experience difficulties in managing routine activities, maintaining relationships, and performing effectively at work or school.
What are the ways to effectively manage it?
First and foremost, it is significant for a person to have a proper diagnosis before starting any treatment.
Moreover, a person can start taking care of the condition by improving their decision-making prowess little by little. It can be helpful to go beyond mental and verbal notes by actually writing down the various options.
Corresponding to this, creating a list of pros and cons for each option, and then choosing the one with the most benefits or the fewest drawbacks can be helpful. While also keeping in mind that a perfect option without any negatives is rarely available.
