CHOICE PARALYSIS

-

 Sometimes we feel like to watch some content, we scroll down some OTT platform such as Netflix, Hotstar, Prime Videos etc. We scroll all these for so long but end up without getting anything good to watch, still confused and fail to decide what to watch. 

This happens with almost everyone right?

This thing is called Choice Paralysis, where having too many choices makes an individual so much confused about deciding what to do. 

This not only happens in the case of Netflix, Hotstar or Prime videos, but even happens while making other choices where we have to choose something where options are numerous. For instance, when we order food from Zomato, Swiggy, when we shop online or offline, when we have choices of too many ice-cream flavors, and we have to choose one among all, when we go out for dinner with family or friends, when we are in a supermarket and get confused about a particular product and most probably it happens while deciding which movie to watch among those thousands.



What causes Choice Paralysis?

Choice Paralysis or Decision Paralysis is a common challenge which each and every individual faces when someone is overloaded with choices, don't know what exactly they want, increasing stress levels and the feeling to give or select the best from all those given choices, but as much the choices increase more the individual starts getting confused and eventually end up with not able to decide what to do.

For example, when someone is filled with stress and fatigue and want to lower down his/her stress level and decides to watch some content and as soon as someone opens any OTT platform or anything and gets thousands of options to choose, and in order to choose the very best content for himself they end up just scrolling up and down and even at the end not able to choose what to watch. 

Same happens in while making other choices which we have mentioned above. According to Deloitte, decision paralysis brought on by the inability to choose between options is typically the result of cognitive overload and fatigue. "The human brain simply isn't designed to process and compare the sheer amount of information it is often given. 

It's like you have the options of different doors and behind every door there is a different outcome and eventually you end up confused about which door to open.
