Stumbled across this and it resonated. Any comments?

Aboulomania (from Greek a–, meaning "without", and boulē, meaning "will")[1] is a mental disorder in which the patient displays pathological indecisiveness. (Wiki quote so not sure if accurate: )

Personal analysis (Analysis paralysis) Casual analysis paralysis can occur during the process of trying to make personal decisions if the decision-maker overanalyzes the circumstance with which they are faced. When this happens, the sheer volume of analysis overwhelms the decision-maker, weighing him or her down so much that they feel overwhelmed with the task, unable to make a rational conclusion.


I get this when asked if I want a cup of tea.

I went out with my husband for a coffee earlier in the week, when we got into the village where we live he asked me where I wanted to go. There are only 3 places I could choose. He had to coax a decision out of me and I hastily gave up and answered "This one!" and pointed to the closest place out of a sheer bloody inability to process all the ins and out of each place and decide on the least disastrous option. Not the best option, just not the worst one.


Am I alone in feeling this?
