Explain this like I'm 10:
"A trauma book I was reading had an interesting claim that indecision is often because the person looks for the approval of an internalized authority figure but is unable to predict what action they would approve of."
Imagine you have a super important decision to make, like choosing between chocolate or vanilla ice cream. Instead of just picking what you really want, you're thinking about what your mom, dad, teacher, or maybe even your favorite superhero would say is the best choice. 🦸♂️
But here's the tricky part: you're not sure what they would actually pick or approve of. So, you get stuck and can't decide because you're worried about making the wrong choice in their eyes. 🤷♂️
In short, it's like having an invisible judge in your brain, and you can't figure out what they want you to do. That's why sometimes making decisions becomes really hard. 🎭
Does that make sense? 🍫🍦
