Not-choosing, as a choice...

I wonder, sometimes, how many Nines are weighed down by the effects of their tendency to not-choose, when faced with choices.

It is commonly said and written that "Nines cannot make up their minds," and "Nines don't know what they want." My personal belief is that these are not entirely true statements.

I believe it's all a timing issue.

When so-called experts write these words, they are clearly not Nines. My own experience in life is that I cannot make up my mind... quickly enough for other people's liking. Similarly, I do generally know what I want, but it takes me longer than other people to get there.

If you are not a Nine, this could easily be seen as wishy-washyness, and an inability to decide.

Perhaps the "root" issue here has to do with the ability of Nines to "weigh all options," which simply takes time. Perhaps the root "truth" is simply that Nines are "deliberate" rather than "impulsive."

I know from experience that I tend to make very poor decisions, when pressured to make quick decisions.
