New investors: what makes you hesitate before buying a stock?

If you're still new to investing, I'd love to hear your real experience.

When you think about buying a stock but feel unsure, what usually causes that?

For example:

• fear of buying at the wrong time
• too much conflicting information
• big price moves
• news or earnings
• not knowing what actually matters

And what do you usually do then?

• wait
• buy a small amount
• research more
• skip it
• buy an ETF instead

Just real examples - not the “perfect strategy”.
