Anyone struggle with making a decision?

I have realised I am terrible at making decisions. Does anyone else struggle? I find myself researching something and then just not doing / buying anything because it requires me to decide.

I've just bought a large wall map which I've been meaning to buy for 6 months or more. In the end I showed DD the options I'd narrowed it down to and got her to pick.

Can you get better at making decisions?

Hi! I make decisions, as I have to and I have absolutely noone in my life to help or support me.
I seem to make the wrong decisions, because of that I doubt every decision I make.
You are lucky to have someone to help you make the decisions. This is amazing.
Maybe you do make decisions, but don't realize it. Even if it isn't an absolute decision, e.g you need a new bed cover, but can't decide. You have decided you need a new bed cover right? that's a decision. Then, you may know what colours look best in your bedroom, and so you have rounded it down to certain colours. Maybe the final decision you struggle with, like what design or pattern, but you have made decisions along the way...
Maybe you can categorise what kind of decisions you struggle with and put them into groups. Maybe you can categorise it in a different way, like it depends on the time of day or how you feel.
I would love best for someone to take that responsibility from me and make decisions for me, cos I am sick of doing it all alone, all the time.
I wish someone would just make a decision for me. So, maybe as you have someone to make decisions for you, this is something that is special.
What do you think?

This is me. I bought a house that needs work doing in every room and have delayed most of it for over a year because I'm just frozen with indecision. I did some, and have regretted the decisions I made, which makes it worse as I just think I'll keep on making poor decisions. It's so stressful. I didnt used to be like this, I seem to have got worse with age Confused
