Do you make your own decisions or do you have to have someone make them for you?

Are you able to make your own decisions in life or do you have others who make them for you? This doesn't include employment where you must do what your employer asks in a work assignment...but in general. Are you someone who is confident and able to make decisions or are you afraid?

I do try to make my own decisions. However, usually I make decisions with my husband. We talk it through, before making a decision. It's usually the way that decision making goes.

Although I find I can be a great team player, I have always been consider to be a leader. By this I mean I am one who welcomes a great many challenges which help me to think things thoroughly and be the one to make decisions specifically for me.

I make my own decision unless it's about something that other people has the right to I can't make my own decision when it comes to our house because we both pay into it I have to ask my husband first but when it comes to my business, he has nothing to do with it so I don't wait for his decision I love freedom but freedom has nothing to do with being childish, spoiled, wanting to have my own way all the time I noticed that some peope equate freedom with those that's just stupidity

I try to make my own decisions as much possible, but sometimes once when it's a hard decision I try to get some advice from like my parents or my sister or other family or friend, basically anyone who is willing to help me. it's good though learn to make your own decision, as in the end, you will have to do it on your own. I guess it just makes you strong when you can make your own decisions and form your own opinion.

some of the things need to have opinion to make me decide as to think also if their opinion is good to be taken.in other view you can balance your decision and may overview what will happen if what u will choose and then u can decide.

Hi, Very relevant discussion indeed. We come across people who are brave and do not hesitate to take any decision without giving it a second thought whatsoever the result. They are too bold and not always wanted either. And some are there who put tthe say of other and compare them with his/her own and make a decision. And I am one such. I do not take any decision in haste. I consult my wife and very close friends and after I take up their input I put my own and think which way to go. If I think my own idea would be better option than what my friends and others have said, I would go with that of mine only.
