Too much of a Choice is always confusing for me.
Yesterday I went for some shopping. I wanted to buy a dress for a occasion, I went to one of the best Mall here in Muscat city, where there are maximum clothing shops. For 4 hours I was going around from one boutique to another and there was so much around that I was shortlisting but could not finalize. By the end of it I was so confused that I did not pick up anything
For me personally whenever there are many choices it confuses me and then either I end up buying some unnecessary things or do not buy anything at all.
For my daily grocery and utility stuff also I prefer going to a small super market where there are less options and I do not spend much time there goofing around. I know exactly what I want and there would be some options to select from which would be easy and time saving for me.
When I shifted to Muscat, here we have larger then life supermarkets. For the first few times I used to be running around in the whole of market totally in a state of confusion. If I needed something as small as a packet of Salt, there would be some 50 variety of Salts and then I would be drooling over which one should I pick up. And there is so much that I would realize that I ended up buying some unnecessary stuff.
For me personally more choices means more confusion and then in the bargain sometimes I also end up picking up wrong things. I do prefer less choices. Big Malls, Big Supermarkets all of them confuse me, I really cannot decided what should I pick up.
These days online shopping is also there which spoil us with end number of choices. I do quite a lot of my shopping from Amazon, but it takes me a long time. I would look out for 1 thing and I will get 100s of options, then it is difficult to select. I normally repeat my orders just going in my order history and not keep searching every time that I want to shop.
Generally I feel it is good to have choices but not that many that will leave in a state of confusion. The more choices you also end up buying some wrong stuff or also some unnecessary stuff. Less choices is always good. Sometimes more choices also gives us a view to a lot of new items and variety in the market. It is all individual preference, you cannot have one standard theory for all your needs so for certain things less and certain things more.

I can relate to it. It has something to do with our desire to snatch the best deal in the market, products with best features, quality and price; and project ourselves as smart shopper. But it's always better to be an average shopper than a smart one :)
A similar thing happens to me when I consume online content though Google, YouTube etc. search. I don't know which links to read and which to ignore. So I end up reading hours of time on some trivial stuff! Now try to beat me on that :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:
