making choices

I want to talk about choices for a moment.

See, I dont really trust myself, so when faced with decisions, I tend to turtle and try and avoid the situation. Of course, not choosing is in fact making a choice, and can have consequences.

But there is a more subtle way this works for me, and that happens if someone is offering me advice on the choice.

I find myself wanting to just hand the choice over to them, so I dont have to deal with it.

Now, the person may be giving me good advice, and maybe I would be right to take it, but its why I am doing it that is a problem.

I need to make sure I am actively engaging, and not just trying to get rid of my responsibility for my choice, preferably without hurting the other person in the process.

Adulting is never easy, is it?
