I once knew a girl whose name was Sue
She always struggled in deciding what to do
What if she chose one
And the other was more fun?
It’d then be a decision she’d forever rue

Note: Decidophobia is the fear of making decisions.

4 April 2015 at 8:25 amIndecisive, thy name is Arpita. Does that make me any less that others? totally related to this limerick.

Sanch @ Living my Imperfect Life
4 April 2015 at 11:07 amHaha…Nope, doesn’t make you any less than anyone…just that you are indecisive and it can be frustrating for others. My partner is like that and it can get on my nerves sometimes. 😛
arpita
5 April 2015 at 9:21 am🙂 I feel for your partner.

Lata
4 April 2015 at 3:11 pmMaybe I do have a bit of Decidophobia.. and the limericks are too good.
Sanch @ Living my Imperfect Life
4 April 2015 at 6:31 pmI think you and several others do Lata! Seems quite a common phobia 😉
Parul
4 April 2015 at 5:11 pmGood one S! I think this is a fear many of us have in some form or the other. While, I make decisions quick, I do realize that some by their impact are simple to make but some are life-altering. Great pick indeed!

4 April 2015 at 6:36 pmI agree Parul. I used to be a lot more fearful but now I’m ok. My partner though is so indecisive sometimes that it drives me nuts!

4 April 2015 at 5:15 pmI used to be a bit like that. Now I am almost too quick to make decisions.

4 April 2015 at 6:57 pmI am quick in taking decisions. But still the thought of the selecting other options keeps lingering in my mind.

5 April 2015 at 11:29 amSometimes I reckon it’s the Fear of Missing Out that prevents us from making decisions. At other times, it’s the fear of letting people down! 🙂

Cait
5 April 2015 at 8:48 pmHehe, I can relate to this! I definitely have decidophobia. Strangely it doesn’t usually strike when I’ve got to make a big decision (like whether or not to buy a new car) but instead at less crucial moments (like when I need to pick which Easter Egg I want)!

8 April 2015 at 7:18 amYou know, after reading this post, I feel I sometimes have this phobia. 🙁 When it’s too hard to actually decide something and you want to end up with both sides of the coin.
Great one !
