Self-distrust. Imitates other’s ways, manners, styles. In the negative state of ‘Cerato’, a person is seen seeking advice of others, not because of other’s superior intelligence or better experience, but because he has no-confidence in his own decisions. He is quite intelligent and capable of taking sound decisions himself, but because of lack of trust in his own decision he is always seen seeking advice from others. This foolishness sometimes costs him dearly, when due to the wrong advice received from elsewhere he does something which brings harm to his interest, then he regrets, especially so, when he recollects that his own decision (which he did not trust) was right. In seeking advice from different persons, he often gets conflicting views which cause much confusion in his mind, thus disturbing his mental peace and making him unhappy.

It is in his very nature to ask questions, seeking advice from others in his personal problems. His persistent questioning bores other people and they shun his society.
