The Open Doors Loop

You see every option. Every path. Every possibility. And you can't choose. Because choosing one door means closing the others and your system reads that as loss. So you keep all doors open, never stepping through any of them. You tell yourself you're being strategic, keeping your options alive. But nothing moves forward. Years pass and you're still standing in the hallway, staring at doors, waiting for certainty that never comes. The fear isn't making the wrong choice. The fear is that any choice might trap you. So you choose nothing and stay trapped anyway.
