Hesitation
Indecision, Doubt
noun
Remember how you learned that 迷う means "to go astray" or "to get lost?" Well, when you feel like you've gone astray or gotten lost, you might act with hesitation and indecision. You suddenly have doubt about where to go or what to do next.
While 迷う can mean getting lost either physically or mentally, 迷い most often conveys an abstract sense of inner conflict or uncertainty, especially in decision making.
