治不好的“選擇焦慮癥”

有的人就是天生的糾結(jié)帝，小到中午吃飯去哪吃，大到畢業(yè)是要考研、出國還是工作都得苦思冥想一番，越想越迷茫。對于這些人來說，選擇越多，焦慮越多;選擇越難以取舍，焦慮越深。

Choice anxiety is induced by the need to choose between similar options and is increasingly being recognized as a problem for individuals.

當(dāng)你面臨太多相似的選擇，無法決定的時(shí)候產(chǎn)生的焦慮感就叫“選擇焦慮(choice anxiety)”，現(xiàn)在越來越多的人有這種困擾，“選擇焦慮癥”也越來越受到人們的重視。

Research on consumerism shows that shoppers experience increased anxiety when asked to choose from a greater number of similar products. In this case, a reduction of choices reduces anxiety and eases decision-making.

消費(fèi)主義研究顯示，面對的相似產(chǎn)品選擇越多，購物者的選擇焦慮就越嚴(yán)重。在這種情況下，減少現(xiàn)有選擇的數(shù)量能夠減輕焦慮并有助于購物者做決定。

For example:

I suffer from a terrible choice anxiety, even when I'm having a fanatastic time, because there is always something else I'm missing out on. Life was so much easier when there were fewer options.

我患有嚴(yán)重的選擇焦慮癥，即使我玩得很開心的時(shí)候，我也覺得煩躁，因?yàn)榭傆幸恍┪义e(cuò)失了的東西。我想如果沒有這么多選擇的話，我的生活會(huì)輕松得多。
