For many people, making a decision from simple choices is not easy. Some people will think seriously before making that decision. However, there are also those who casually say ‘whatever’.
According to Psychology Bulletin, one reason someone is not very concerned about their decision is due to fatigue, commonly called self-regulation depletion.
This can happen when a person spends too much time thinking about and completing a task, leaving the brain with no extra time to consider other things.
Furthermore, saying ‘whatever’ too often can also indicate certain characteristics, you know, Thecuy. Come on, check out the review below!
1. Quickly Saying ‘Yes’ Before Confirming to Yourself
People who often say ‘whatever’ also quickly say ‘yes’ when asked something before they confirm to themselves whether they truly want it or not.
According to Headspace, this can happen due to several factors, such as fear of disappointing others, not being accustomed to recognizing one’s own desires, often putting others’ wishes first, or avoiding uncomfortable conversations.
2. Feeling Confused When Faced with Simple Choices

People who often say ‘whatever’ might be because they have no choices. But on the other hand, it could also be because they are faced with simple choices that are confusing.
For example, when someone is at a minimarket and a friend asks, “Which drink do you want?” He pauses and decides to say, “Whatever, any will do.”
At first glance, the statement sounds casual, but actually he might be confused about which one to choose. Not only that, someone who too often follows others’ opinions also sometimes forgets that he himself also has the right to choose.
3. Fear of Different Opinions

Often people prefer to say ‘whatever’ instead of expressing their opinion because they don’t want to be in an uncomfortable situation if their opinion differs.
If this habit continues, Thecuy may become accustomed to adjusting to the opinions around them. This condition makes oneself find it difficult to recognize likes and beliefs.
4. Often Apologizing for Normal Things

Some people tend to feel uneasy about expressing their own wishes. Instead of also voicing their opinion, they say ‘whatever’.
Because, when they express their opinion or wish, they instead apologize. Yet, expressing one’s will is every individual’s right.
This situation can happen when a person has experienced conflict, rejection, or received a negative response when expressing their wishes.
Well, those are some characteristics of a person who often says ‘whatever’ rather than directly expressing their wishes. What do you think, Thecuy?
