What to do when there are too many options?
The best thing you can do in this situation is to just walk away from the offer and take your time. Give yourself more time to process and weigh all of the options before making a decision, but don't hang around too much.
Is having too many choices a problem?
Over the past few decades, a large body of research has repeatedly shown that when people experience choice overload—when they face more options than they desire—they can experience a wide range of negative outcomes, from frustration and confusion to regret, dissatisfaction, and even choice paralysis.
What is it called when you have too many options to choose from?
Choice overload, also known as overchoice, choice paralysis, or the paradox of choice, describes how people get overwhelmed when they are presented with a large number of options to choose from.
How many options is too many?
A new study has shown people prefer fewer options to more — but only to a certain extent. Overall, people think they like to have more choice, but it actually causes more stress to make the ultimate decision. The sweet spot is probably 8 to 15 choices. Too few and we feel cheated; too many and we're overwhelmed.
