Does anyone else suffer from this? I seem to to the extent it makes me into a person who seems never satisfied with the decisions I make regarding big things and thus leads to general indecision and finally thinking 'to hell with it'.
I brought this up because in September/October time I am likely to go on a bit of a travel round northern Europe with this girl I have known well for a little over 2 years. However, I KNOW that because of how I am I will think 'would it have been better if I'd gone with them'. I seem to have difficulty in enjoying the here and now with these momentous once-in-a-lifetime things and am constantly tossing up alternatives and failing to enjoy what could be a great time because of it. I'm fairly certain I do that because they ARE once-in-a-lifetime things and I want it to be perfect and with someone who I can be sure won't get on my nerves after a week on the road.
Does anyone else suffer from this stunting irritation and if so, do you have any methods to alleviate it's effects?
Side note: The girl who I would REALLY want to go with and KNOW that they would not piss me off after a while since we've had some great relaxed times together has just got married (though it wasn't all that happy an affair). So I think that could be making me think more 'what if I had gone travelling with her instead'.
