    But if someone tries to get me to do something and impose what they want me to do that will specifically affect my future (since that's usually when people like to share their highly intelligent insight and advice with me), I'm going to go against that, even if it's something that harms me because I get into the mindset that I'm doing it to make them happy above what I want.

    THIS. Exactly this. I have my mother constantly in my ear telling me that I need to pick a college degree or get a full-time job (even though the job I have is basically full-time, it's just not good enough for her). And whenever she does, my thought process is the same:

    "I'm choosing the life for myself that I want, and while this will not fulfill me forever, I'm not going to make a change based on anyone else's pressure. I'm not even going to start thinking about my future while I still have to fight you just to be left alone, and every time you bring it up, it resets the clock."

    However, when it comes to the little things, like making plans with my friends, I try to get them to make the decisions because I don't like being the one deciding and having the thought that I'd be the only one happy while everyone else is bored lol

    I make my own decisions, but I like hearing other people's ideas. They tell me what they think I should do, and if I determine that their idea is what's best, I'll go and do that myself. For little things like selecting dinner, I'm pretty content with anything, so I ask other people what they would rather do before piping up. "It's my life and nobody tells me what to do" is overrated. Sometimes you should just accept help.

    I'm kind of indecisive and sometimes I just need to ask someone to choose something for me. I might do what they suggest, but usually I end up doing what I'd unconsciously planned to do from the beginning, but wasn't able to do until faced with a different choice. I should really just start trusting myself to make my own decisions more.

    I'm plagued with indecisiveness about some things. I will eventually arrive at a decision but there tends to be a lot of deliberation as I speculate all the possible options and outcomes.

    I appreciate outside influence when facing decisions but I can manage without.

    I'm quite indecisive and am happy to let other people make decisions, so long as I can vaguely agree with their decision and it's not a life-changing one. The really big decisions concerning the future, I like to make myself. But stuff like what restaurant to go to or what film to see, I'm happy to delegate. Unfortunately, most of my friends are as indecisive as I am, leading to long discussions about restaurants and films and such!

    I make all my decisions myself, mainly because if I let others decide for me it ends badly or not the way I would have preferred it would have ended.

    If it's something like food or a movie, I used to be the ambivalent one.. after dating one who's the same way, I'll make the choice just to avoid the "what do you want?" "oh, anything really, not particular" loop. So when someone else is making the decision I try to throw them something solid, even though I really DGAF.

    Important decisions are made by yours truly, though if I feel I need advice I will take that under consideration.

    When my mum is annoying me and always asking me stuff I just say what ever you want like a hundred times till she stops talking. When other adults that I know ask me what I want I just usually say 'either one is fin thanks'.

    Unless it's something I really care about; I prefer to either have it done by random or by someone else's choice. I try to put my input in if someone else is fine with deciding it. And if they don't want to decide it either; I usually just go ahead and do it.
