sale paralysis

The act of becoming incapable to make a decision or act upon sales due to feeling overwhelmed

fashion paralysis

An inability to follow latest fashion trends. Someone who suffers fashion paralysis tends to wear same outfit again and again (even though it's completely obsolete in terms of trend, as long as it usable and not damaged) and won't bother to buy any new outfit

For people who tell me that i'm broke: I've got money, but i'm suffering fashion paralysis. And i just buy an outfit which makes me comfortable

Analysis Paralysis

When someone overthinks a decision so much that they end up not making one at all.

“I stood in the cereal aisle for ten minutes comparing ingredients and prices until my analysis paralysis kicked in and I walked out with nothing.”
