Don't be indecisive - people don't take your decisions seriously.

Is being indecisive and fickle the same thing...?

No. Being indecisive means you can't make a decision at all. Being fickle means you are quite able to make a decision, it's just that you keep changing that decision all the time!

Hope I've spelled decision right! You know when you look at a word too much it starts to look wrong even if it's right.....

well, you're asking the right person, saabirah will be able to tell you...

i second your definitions of decisive and fickle. or do i? i can't decide..

Ha ha hema.

Here are my definitions: I think fickle is changing your feelings all the time and indecisive is changing your decisions all the time.

Well shall we check what the Oxford dictionary thinks the definition is.....cos i thought fickle meant someone whose quite shallow and uncaring! But i got it totally wrong!! According to the dictionary it means 'changeable, inconstant.'
Hmm Saabirah i would say you fall under fickle as you are able to come to a decision but............the next time we ask the answer is almost never the same. Can be quite fun at times......BUT we do need to be firm in our resolves if we are to progress in life.....Anyway dont worry half the population changes their mind, its cool ,we learn from mistakes! Well for those of us who do learn. Anyway.....
