I'm the opposite. If I can delegate any decision to anyone, I will. I couldn't care less about personal autonomy.
Do you expect that that would continue to be true if you were in a situation where you had no choice but to accede to others' decisions?
Choosing to avoid making choices looks like personal autonomy to me.
Probably. If they went crazy with it, I'd eventually dislike it, but if they made the same choices I would have made, I'd be fine.
When other people do make choices for me, I won't try to find out how much they're willing to force the issue unless I'm planning on doing something else.
Does this apply to tasks as well as decisions (e.g. you don't care how the laundry is done as long as you don't have to be involved) or are you just really amenable to instruction?
I would also like people to do things for me if that's what you mean, but given that I have to do it myself, I'd prefer someone else tell me what to do.
