I do not have a favorite band, colour, movie or animal. There are too many choices. Is this normal, or am I excessively indecisive?

Who says that choosing a favorite is "normal"?
We've filled our society w/ options, for many things that's good.
More to the point, it's hard to come to a "favorite" b/c there are so many parameters. Take a movie for example, that includes, acting, writing, directing, cinematography.
And even when a movie excels in each of those categories, there is the genre to consider (comedy, action, drama, etc).
And that's the point, over time there are many examples of excellence.
So don't worry about it. Focus on the excellent, and don't get wrapped up in a "favorite" or "best".

It sounds like you don't pick favorites because it may cause you to take responsibility of that choice. Fear is usually the issue here.
Why are you afraid to make a decision? Have you been hurt by a decision you have made in the past and regret it? Think about it. You will eventually have to commit to some kind of decision making process. It is a very important part of life!
Making a decision can give you great self esteem and confidence! Don't be afraid! If you let others make all of your decisions for you, you are even more vulnerable than if you did it yourself!!! It is a great part of adulthood. Make you decisions carefully so you can take credit for your successes!

I don't think it's indecisive. I would call it "up for anything". If you don't have a favorite you'll never be pressured to choose one of anything, that leaves you open to try all kinds of fun new things. I wish I were that way. Sadly enough I am a creature of habit and patterns, the safe side. You have my envy (smile).

That's not weird at all. When you pick favorites you're either limited to your option or considered hypocritical when you go a different way.
Why pick favorites? Wear any color or brand! Listen to all kinds of music and find new good ones everyday! Movies come out all the time, don't limit yourself.
You're normal, and open-minded. More power to you. :]

I feel you! When I think I've settled on a favorite color, I realize it's not good enough for me.
I think we're just excessively indecisive.

I think its just because you maybe have too many things you really like ,so you cant really pick which ones are your favorite.Thats all!
i never had a favorite band either! or an animal... i have way too many.

Of course you have a favourite of everything! You just don't want or are fearful of being classified. Life is full of choices and choosing or not- a choice has been made or "favoured".
When deciding what to wear... you choose a favoured garment.
When going to eat, you select your favourite food,
You just don't want to admit it. You have and you choose favourites constantly...
Here, you may choose THIS answer as best answer...because it's your favourite!

I don't have a favorite movie. So that's normal.
Rest- indecisive.
