Is it possible to have too much choice?

I sometimes think that less choice is better. Can never choose a film on Netflix.
Do you have this?

I'm the same, can choose between eg six things, but not 50, I just go around in circles

I say this when I go to get my nails done. I wish they had 4 colours to choose from, because a whole wall for of colours is too much.

I also have the Netflix thing. I end up rewatching films I’ve seen before because I can’t choose from so many options.

I'm an avid reader but there are too many books, available in too many formats. Sometimes I fall asleep to YouTube instead.

Yes, I have become paralysed over picking something to watch on Netflix, even new series of things I have enjoyed before. Instead I am watching Motherland (again).

Maybe I should not post here, because I decidedly don't have this problem. Show me a list of 50 things, and it's possible my mind will label them 1st, 2nd, 3rd choice, sometimes not. Often my head will say 'nothing leaps out at me!' and I take that as a sign the list does not have anything for me. This does happen a lot with Netflix shows and films.

I don't find this so much with tv as I prefer true crime and documentaries so I just work my way through those. Books, though. There will never be enough time in my life to read all the books I want. Sad as it is, I read them all in alphabetical order from my bookshelf so i don't have to decide what to read next.
