I finally asked for advice on a tough choice and got really helpful feedback
Was stuck between two options and felt unsure what to do. Putting it out there let me see things from angles I hadn't considered.

Wow, asking for help was your first mistake. Now instead of two bad options you've got like five decent ones to pick from. Way to make things more complicated for yourself.

Five decent choices sounds like a nightmare, idk how anyone picks. I get slammed just trying to choose between like three things.

Ugh totally, I heard this thing about "choice overload" and it makes so much sense. It said having a bunch of good options doesn't make us happier, it just makes us scared we'll pick the wrong one. Our brains are literally not built to handle that many similar choices without getting stressed. So yeah, five decent things is way harder than one good and one bad.

Lol right? I read somewhere that too many good options actually makes us overthink and regret choices more. Like our brains get fried comparing every little detail between five solid picks instead of just picking from two clear ones. @anna_coleman46 I feel you, it's so much easier when the options are just obviously bad.
