Is this just me, or is it an INFJ thing?
I often take a long time to make big decisions, such as buying a house or a car, and get anxious about making the right choice. I check out all the options and want all the information I can get. Sometimes I take months to make a decision that others would make in a day or two.
For example, I've been looking for a new piano for quite some time now. I know what I want -- a certain sound and a certain feel of the keys -- and I have a budget. I've played many pianos and not found what I'm looking for. A piano is a big-ticket item and important to me, since I play almost every day. I bought a piano a few years ago and have not been happy with it. I want to get it right this time.
I fret a lot about the decision. How will I sell my old piano to make room for the new one? If the piano I'm buying is old, what maintenance will it need in the near future? Will I like it as much in my home as in the store? The list goes on. I can drive myself a little nuts sometimes.
Do others here have the same difficulty making big decisions?
