Make a choice!

[Twirly]

I bet a lot of people here had this problem:
You have two (or even more) opportunities in life but you can only choose one!
Now every option seems great to you and you can't make a damn decision D:<
At least that's how I feel atm.
So, since you guys are a bit older than I and have some ~*life experience*~ I am asking you, what do you do in such situations?
What helps you to make a choice in life?

go with awesome girl or play in a once in a lifetime badass concert

the obvious choice is the concert but i took the other road

 

[Juan J. Sánchez]

Go to Lima, Perú and visit Machu Pichu in Los Andes, or go visit your exgirlfriend in Pittsburgh. I made the wrong choice. Now I don't have a girlfriend, and I haven't been to South America. On a different note, Engineering School or Medicine School. I also made the wrong choice there, I went to Medicine School, but if I were to do it again, I wouldn't change a thing.

but the natural choice is fuck that awesome girl, unfortunately

 

[Twirly]

But my question is, what helps you making a choice at all?

 

[bashful crobat]

flip a coin

or

assign each choice to one nostril
breathe in deeply (through your nose)
whichever is easier to breathe through is your choice

 

[moog]

yeah i usually flip a coin. sometimes I cant make an informed decision and that works best. Or ask my parents about it sometimes, since they usually give me good feedback and have experienced more things.

 

[Twirly]

what, flipping a coin :x
guess I'll do it!

 

[Jason]

Flipping a coin is actually a great way to do it, I usually do this if I've got a coin spare lol, I mean, if you don't know which to do, might as well let luck decide for you.

 

[Pokémaniac]

Flipping a coin is the BEST way, because after you flip the coin you get that gut-feeling that tells you what you really want to do.

 

[regi]

If you're still unsure, just flip a second coin to decide whether or not to listen to the first coin.

I'm far too neurotic for coin-flipping. Pro/con lists is where it's at.

 

[bacon]

Tarot Cards are where it is at
that way you can divinate everything
no worries no reason o;

though a regular old card-deck can do too.

yeah man I can be pretty neurotic too, guess i'll do that :D

 

[Twirly]

so i made a list and both had the same amount of pros and cons :|

 

[Juan J. Sánchez]

I've never like pros and cons lists. I do comparison tables. For example, say you're buying a new PC. You do a table with values such as RAM, Hard Disk memory, processor, screen size, etc. Then you compare.

 

[moxie]

so i made a list and both had the same amount of pros and cons :|

This possibility never crossed my mind. Time to make a pro/con list concerning whether or not I should continue using pro/con lists!

 

[regi]

Give each pro and con values (i.e. good pro = 5 pts, bad con = -5 pts), sum them up, and choose the best one.

If you're still unsure, just flip a second coin to decide whether or not to listen to the first coin.

By far the best thing I've read for a while! :haha:


@Topic: Congrats at you figuring out that what makes life interesting is make your own choices. You make decisions and live with the outcome - you'll never know what would've happened otherwise... so really, it's never a decision between two things, but a decision in favor of something.
Alo, most of the time, there is a third decision. Now if your basic concept in life is "fuck that awesome girl", you probably don't have to worry about it, but if you actually care, there's often a third possibility that makes everything work out nicely for you.

i really agree with this, this test will always tell you what you want, and if you feel neutral after the flip then you are prob asking about something to simple, like what to eat lol
