Decisions are often influenced by personal needs and desires, sometimes leading to confusion between one's true desires and external expectations. It is crucial to distinguish between what one genuinely wants and what they feel they should want, based on societal or familial norms. By reflecting on personal beliefs, needs, and preferences, individuals can realign their decisions with their authentic selves, rather than external pressures.
