Example Of Such A Situation: The individual in question works for a company and he intends to resign voluntarily because he feels that he may be asked to resign by the company management. This is because, the individual is not sure if his work has made a positive impact on the company's profit margin.He does not want to take any chance & is planning to resign.However, he realises his decision may or may not be the right decision.
So,is there a word that describes such an individual who is unable to take the correct decision because he cannot understand that particular unfolding situation correctly? In other words the person is failing to understand something which should be obvious.
Best Answer
The person is befuddled by his situation because he is too close to it. Befuddled, defined by The Free Dictionary:
Befuddled is often used in the sense of "stupefied by alcoholic drink", but a person can be stone cold sober and yet befuddled by the complexity of a situation in which, for whatever reason, he cannot think clearly. In the OP's example, the person in question cannot think clearly because he cannot distance himself from the problem.
