Making a decision on your own means taking responsibility. It doesn't matter for what reason this need arose. The main thing is to take this matter seriously and not succumb to pressure from outside.

Step 1
Try to be alone for a while. Often people around, wanting to help, create chaos in thoughts. After all, it seems to everyone that it is he who expresses the only correct opinion. Having listened to a dozen of such correct ideas, there is a risk of getting confused and losing the ability to think clearly. Moreover, if you know that strength of character is not your merit. Although a collective discussion of the problem can lead to confusion even the most confident person. So, in order to weigh the pros and cons and draw the conclusions you need, you need to retire. This will help to come to a decision without anyone's interference.
Step 2
Think carefully about the situation. Depending on the seriousness of the case, you can think about it for a couple of minutes, hours or even days. But, if possible, take your time. Haste makes you close your eyes to some doubts. It is they who in the future can become a real torment for you and not let you forget about the question: "Did I do the right thing?" There is no need to create the illusion that by "pointing your finger at the sky", you will easily and quickly get rid of the problem.
Step 3
Remember if you have experienced similar circumstances in your life before. Sometimes the experience of the past can be used in the present. Of course, there is no need to follow a template. Just look at what has already been done from the outside. Such a vision of the matter will make it possible to consider the state of affairs objectively.
Step 4
Listen to the voice of reason. Feelings, emotions, experiences need to be removed. Usually they are forced to rush from side to side, going to extremes. Such behavior will lead to absolute futility. Therefore, no matter how difficult it may seem, you will have to forget about emotional "storms". Only "cold" reasoning will help to make the right, absolutely independent, decision.
