All my life I've had this unshakable instinct to explore multiple sides of things. Almost to a flaw. To some it comes across as a lack of conviction. But when it comes time to make a decision I tend to not have a problem taking sides.
I find that I tend to be what I jokingly describe as a right-wing, leftist moderate. Meaning that whether my opinion falls to the left, right, or center varies by topic. Unfortunately, you are correct about how some others view that. To them, I am indecisive. Meanwhile, I consider it as thinking for myself, as opposed to following the talking heads.
Seeing that the world isn't as clear cut as people wish it were, it means you're a rational thinker. Looking at multiple sides of issues and being able to adjust your opinion to new knowledge is a strength not a weakness. Video on critical thinking- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OedkyxEqtA

I don't see that as a problem, it's being rational and, well, moderate.
