Hesitation no relation indecisiveness
Hesitation or hesitating is the psychological process of pausing in the course of making a decision or taking an action, typically due to uncertainty as to the best course of action. Hesitation is described in both positive and negative terms, with some perceiving it as an indication of thoughtfulness, while others characterize it as a sign of indecisiveness or lack of the will to act. In literature, a period of hesitation on the part of a key character has sometimes been depicted as having substantial consequences.the week was marked by the onset of overt hesitation on the dog's part. For the first time, Finnegan began to start and stop in place while riveting his gaze on the trainer's movements. The physical hesitation suggests the emergence of a new step in the process: the dog begins to perceive that his task is to figure out the trainer's desires as to when he should come or stay. Hesitation suggests that the dog has a sense that sometimes coming is "right" and sometimes it is "wrong".
In humans, hesitation can be attributed to many causes. It has been argued, for example, that it is generally "the result of a lack of knowledge of the principles". One common form of hesitation is speech hesitation, wherein a person has difficulty beginning to speak, arising from factors including uncertainty about what to say, and concerns over speaking competence.Stanton Marlan writes more positively of the phenomenon that "I imagine hesitation as being a fecund opening, a gateway to the unconscious and to the nothingness of which Derrida speaks. It is a nothingness that enriches both the dialectical process of analysis and our theoretical speculation". He describes hesitation in this context as "also a deepening of interiority and psychological space". According to psychologist, James Hillman, "[t]his increased interiority means that each new ... inspiration, each hot idea ... will first be drawn through the labyrinthine ways of the soul, which wind it and slow it and nourish it from many sides".
