Probably not autistic exclusive, but it seems very common for autistic people to struggle with making choices/having too many choices. And even just generally with the sensation that everything is Too Much (or anything-that's-more-than-a-little-bit is Too Much). Because I think that other aspects of being neurodivergent can also come into play with this sort of thing, beyond just the constant agony of having to make decisions (and having choice overload). Too many social demands means more social overload and often more sensory overload (especially if it involves leaving the house or attending events). Too many food or clothing options can make it harder to keep regulated sensory-wise. Having too many options can also make it harder to create a routine that works or to be able to predict what our day will look like/what we'll be doing. A routine that's too busy/complicated, or that needs to change too frequently, or that is uncertain (because you don't know when someone will contact you/want to do something, or because you don't know what you are going ot be having for dinner, or because you're not sure what you're going to do even for your relaxing lesure time (what TV show you'll watch, what video game you'll play, what book you'll read, what music you're going to listen to on your way to work or whilst showering) might seem relatively minor to many, but it does create quite a bit of chaos for those of us that thrive off routine and sameness.

Totally! The choice overload can be so overwhelming!

When I first started watching K-dramas, I felt like I had to watch every single airing k-drama, and then I also wouldn’t drop any even if they weren’t going well...you know...just in case? 

The good news is now I allow myself to drop shows if I’m simply not feeling them (even if everyone else LOVES them). Sure, I worry that I’m missing out (Vincenzo) but I just tell myself it makes room for other shows and I can always come back to it when I’m in the mood for that genre. ;-)

What’s on your watchlist @kangsujin? Also, what kind of dramas do you like best? Can I help you pick from your list?? I’m so curious what’s on it! (you can say NO obviously lol).

A project you want to make. A subject you want to study. Work that might improve your future. A part of your life you keep meaning to change.

None of the options feels unimportant, so choosing one begins to feel like abandoning the others.

My new article looks at why having too many interests can leave you unable to begin.

Instead of trying to identify the most important option from the start, it may be more useful to choose the one that will give you better information after you try it.

I also included a sign-by-sign look at what may keep each zodiac sign standing at the entrance.

You do not need to choose the correct order for your whole life today.

Choose one thing that will make tomorrow’s decision easier.

2025 has been an interesting year thus far. In some ways it’s been 2024 part 2 (for better or worse), and in other ways it has felt almost eternal in how long each month has been. Even February was exceptionally long, and March isn’t fairing much better.  Despite this, I can’t help but feel like I’m not getting as much accomplished as I would like. I know just last week I wrote about the fact…
