SG – Even being indecisive can get to the source of a problem, because you don’t get bogged down in the black and white of things. I find that while I am indecisive a lot of the time, the same “think of every possible solution” mentality means I can then try every one in order to find the correct one. Like when a machine at work isn’t working – many staff think about what went wrong last time and constantly try to correct for that error, without thinking of other things that might be wrong. I am like you in that I can brainstorm all sorts of possible solutions but have trouble deciding on a final one, though in an emergency I seem to have a pretty good feel for what is the right thing to do, without vacillating over what I should do – I only get myself in a muddle when I have the luxury of time to think about things!!

Pete – I do the same as you. Hubby always gets annoyed because I immediately point to all the problems with something, or jump to the end of the conversation without hearing it all. He either calls me a pessimist, or says I rain on his parade just to irritate him and stir the pot, or that I disagree just for the sake of disagreeing. I don’t think I do, but I do find that optimists like him can be annoying – in my mind, there are certain realities that should be prepared for, just in case they happen, otherwise something good can turn into something bad. It’s not pessimism, just forward planning!
