    Yes, I’ve put off lots of commitments where I wasn’t ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN because I was afraid to change my mind and look foolish.

    But then I’ve always admired people who could make big decisions even without perfectly knowing what the outcome would be!

      I blame society. People see changing one’s mind as a sign of weakness, they call it “flip-flopping” and such like.

      In reality, it takes guts to change your mind, especially over something so personal. And I’m tired of pretending it doesn’t.
