Overchoice

Overchoice, also known as choice overload, occurs when an individual is faced with too many options, making it difficult to decide or leading to decision paralysis. When presented with numerous similar choices, a person may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or uncertain about the best option, which can reduce satisfaction with their decision or even result in no choice at all. This phenomenon highlights that having more options is not always better, as excessive choices can hinder decision-making and overall happiness.
