For some, making decisions could be hard because they are not used to it. For example, as a child, they used to make decisions for their parents or older siblings. So when it comes to their turn to make their decision, they don’t know what to do or are scared that they’re going to make a wrong decision. In some situations, it is also difficult for people to make a decision for some than others. For example, in a situation where their decision matters a lot that affects their life or affects someone else’s life, it could be hard because you need to be responsible for the decision you made on your life or on other people’s life. Some decisions are big decisions like decision to move abroad to a foreign country. Those are very very big decisions or decision to pick your own subject that you want to study in university, pick your own major because it could affect your life. It is something that shape your entire life in the future, so it should be difficult to make decisions for some people than others who just take it easy.
