Disagreeing with yourself

    I can almost never agree with myself. I always see both sides and tell myself I'm wrong. Does anyone else have the same problem?

    That does sound like a somewhat familiar phenomenon for me.

    Indecisiveness can come from an unwillingness to accept risk.

    Once you've raised the pros and the cons for both sides, it's just a matter of making a gut/intuitive judgment call on which side wins out.

    But there's always that risk that you're wrong.

    I'm not sure what the solution is.

    All I know is, analysis paralysis can be a real time waster.

    Sometimes it's prudent to just take the plunge, roll the dice, and pick a side and go all in.

    Both sides? Yours and someone else's?

    I think he means comparing two alternative choices.

    Either that, or he's got Dissociative Identity Disorder or is Schizophrenic with auditory hallucinations.

    No, I think being able to see your own and someone else's perspective than be a good thing.

    So long as you wind up like a cuck who is in favour of giving your whole country over to foreigners just because you understand their point of view.

    Part of being enlightened is understanding that selfishness is not evil, evil doesn't exist, being human is to be selfish, and everyone should try to be a better human.

    Dalai Lama has said as much. Remember when all the hippies thought he was cool, back before he started contradicting their jedi bosses?

    That and if two options are conflicting I'll see the reasoning behind both.

    Interesting. Never thought of it this way, perhaps I have the wrong idea of buddhism
