Is it normal to convince yourself to hate things or impair yourself in order to narrow your options down?

Question

I have noticed that I sometimes get anxious when I have many options to choose from (usually with major life choices). If I make one choice, I get anxious thinking that I should have chosen one of the other many other options. So sometimes the only way I can live with myself is to convince myself that I really don't like the options that I rejected. This makes me feel better about the choice I made. If I don't do this, then whenever I am acting on the choice that i did make, I feel like I should be doing something else.
I also sometimes impair myself. For example, I might try to sabotage myself in some area or purposely limit myself so then I can justify to myself why I am not doing that particular thing.
I am dysfunctional if I don't do these things. I only feel okay devoting myself to one thing if I have somehow justified to myself why I am not doing something else.

Answer 1

It all certers around purpose, purpose gives you away to measure your descions and takes the indesiviness out of your hands. Your force that on you by making your finaly choice the purpose which makes the others wrong just by there very exsistence. A good example of this is when we are religious, and we are forced with descisions they become pretty easy to handle because we have that authorite on whats the right choice and whats the wrong choice. Ether way a completely normal function of the psychy. A way to get past that and feel more comfrontable with the process is that of course, finding a purpose..... and using that as the guiding light, then maybe you won't feel guilty for "manipulating" yourself towards a direction your not even sure of.....
