Crippled by indecisions on purchases

[noj]

Todays one…..I need a new mouse mat. It’s going too cost £15 but I’ve spent 3 days looking at options, colours, brands and then close the browser again and think I’ll come back to it.

My new desk? Took 4 months of deciding to get one or not
New razor because my old electric one is a bit blunt and pulling hairs….still out for a decision.
It’s the same with most things, clothes are even worse!

When I do, finally, buy something it’s not really a pleasure, it’s more relief, and then buyers remorse! Urgh. Even my wife gets peeved off at me though that’s most likely because she has no interest in the mouse mat and doesn’t want to look at reviews of them

I’m fortunate enough to be able to buy things when I need them, I just get this crippling indecisiveness about it all. What if it’s wrong? I don’t like it? It’s not a good brand? Billy from Salisbury only gave it 4 stars instead of 5??

It’s annoying as heck! Anyway, anymore recommendations about large mousepads to drive me nuts for another few days.

I agree, it's horrible. Too much choice, and too many places selling the exact same thing with a different brand sticker on it, and all at wildly different prices.


Everything is ridiculous

I wish I was born and lived most of my life before the internet. Imagine just only going to the one shop near you that sellers just one version of the thing you want and you buy that in person and it's done. Bliss.

It was! Need an electric thing…Dixons or curry’s. Both next to each other in town

If I was overthinking mouse mats, I’d probably see some one

Think of all the research I’d have to do in order to find someone!

I think, maybe, it’s because I’ve always been careful with cash and don’t want to waste money. If I buy something that’s crap it’s money I could have saved for a rainy day. I don’t think I’ve ever adjusted to having a good amount of disposable income. Probably because I remember the call from the bank years ago asking which direct debit to not pay, mortgage or gas bill…..

why do you need a mouse mat

That’s part of it, I don’t need it but I’d like one for my new desk set up. But it’s the same with everything I would like, and not necessarily need, I just get stuck. I’ll research and find something and then talk myself out if it because I don’t need it. I can afford “stuff” but have this block in my that just worries about all manner of things and then leaves the money in the bank to sit and do nothing.

I appreciate I’m fortunate to be able to spend some cash without thinking about it (hah).

on the other hand a heated mouse mat is something i've researched.

lol I won’t start looking at those!

Well I put my big boy pants on and ordered a mouse pad today, one off the list of things to agonise over.
I ordered it from here too, not going to say which one as I’d then get peoples views on it

Glad I’m not the only one to struggle with this stuff though
