I ordered my holiday shopping online already. I only buy gifts for the kids in my family, but I got a few things. It was still a lot of compare/contrast. The decision making a bit more time consuming because there was no social anxiety aspect so I sort of allowed myself to dwell more, like it felt safer to be alone and be able to dwell on it. All in all, still a bit stressful but I'm really glad to be done with it.
Flower selection is definitely another area I have issues with this as well. I enjoy planting flowers and gifting them. For anyone, I think it would be a bit natural to be a bit choose-y with plants - you have to care for it, its enjoyable to see it displayed - so getting the best one available from the start makes sense. Its just really hard when the brain tells you to scrutinize to the ultimate level.
