What does Dither really mean?

Alright, so imagine you're trying to make a decision, but you're feeling really unsure about it. You might start to feel a bit anxious and hesitate to make a choice. That feeling of hesitation and uncertainty is what dithering is all about. When you dither, you're kind of going back and forth, unable to make up your mind.

So, dithering basically means to be indecisive or to hesitate about something. It's like when you're standing in front of the ice cream counter, trying to pick a flavor, but you just can't decide because there are so many yummy options. Or when you're trying to choose what movie to watch on Netflix, but you keep changing your mind because there are too many good ones to pick from.

It's important to remember that dithering can make it hard to move forward and can lead to feeling stressed or worried. It's like being stuck in a never-ending loop of uncertainty. So, it's helpful to try to make a decision and stick with it, even if it's tough. Hope that makes sense!
