If you're overwhelmed by choice paralysis you might find it entertaining to turn on Random Options in the menu, which will provide a random choice button at every menu prompt - you're never required to use it, you can still pick manually at any point, but you have the option of "I don't know, just pick something".
Letting things just happen and seeing how events unfold can let you ease into taking control of the narrative when you have more idea of where you want to go.
