You struggle to make your own decisions.

The internet has not taught us how to research it has taught us to remain in a state of searching. Before we go to a restaurant we Google, yelp etc. We are relying on opinions of strangers who may or may not be truly strange in their opinions. And when we amass all this information which can take a significant amount of time, we sit in a whirling dervish of limitless choices! It can be anxiety provoking. And for some people this is how they...

Don’t judge yourself by what other people did to you part two
