overwhelmed by choice, we’re all libras now
If you’re the kind of person who thinks star signs are nonsense, I bet you’d change your mind after seeing what happens when you tell a Libra to make a decision.
Libras, as you may or may not know, are notorious for their indecisiveness. And despite being a member of this zodiac sign myself, I know that witnessing a person’s constant inability to make basic decisions can become excruciating. If it wasn’t for Libra’s charm and general likability (think Snoop Dogg, Bella Hadid, and Will Smith) I’m not sure anyone would put up with us.
Libras are unique, the only star sign to be represented by an intimate object – the weighing scales – which symbolise this sign’s propensity for fairness, balance, and diplomacy. It makes sense then, that Libra’s hesitant nature doesn’t stem from a lack of knowing what they want, but from a desire to carefully weigh all possible outcomes of their choice, as well as the pros and cons of these outcomes.
This is as over-the-top as it sounds. It can lead to decision paralysis that sparks impatience and frustration in people around them. That said, Libras are becoming less alone in this. In a world that offers so much choice – or at least the illusion of it, especially in the West – more and more people have started struggling with the act of decision making.
It’s been suggested that the average adult makes 33,000 to 35,000 total decisions each day, including what we will eat, drink, wear, say, and how we’ll say it. Whether you’re scrolling Netflix, selecting a vacation destination, or choosing which car to buy, the pressure to make the “right” choice can be overwhelming.
