make decisions

[Maybo]

1. Why do some people find it hard to make decisions?

It is because people sometimes are not sure about whether their decisions are correct. They have limit budget and time and they can't afford to waste them. Also, wrong decisions could lead to irreversible situations. For example, people may be worried that their decision could hurt somebody's feeling and make them lose a friend or relative.

2. How important is it to get advice from other people when making decisions?

It's important because many people have similar experience, and their advice can help us achieve our goals more quickly and prevent us from going to wrong directions or being cheated. And sometimes, even if advice doesn't directly benefit us but it can stimulate our ideas or creativity.

Do you have a question for us?

I randomly chose some Ielts speaking topics to practise English.

Do those people who have a hard time making decisions lack confidence in themselves? Are they afraid they will make the wrong decision, and that makes them hesitate?

That's fine but you still haven't asked us a question. Perhaps you meant to open your post with something like this:

"I have chosen a couple of IELTS practice speaking topics and written a paragraph about each one. Please check them and correct any mistakes."

Are these follow-up questions?:shock: I actually don't know why it is hard for people to make decisions. Maybe they lacks confidence. All are my guesses.

No, they are not follow-up questions. (There would have had to be some beforehand.) I was just trying to stimulate your thinking.

See above.

You said it, Maybo! I was trying to stimulate your thinking. (My version.)

You didn't specifically ask me for advice, but the principle is the same.
