Not hesitating when you know what to do is a perfectly normal trained response. Not hesitating when you don't know what to do can be a survival response in combat but in ordinary life is pathological (this is partially an issue with how turns work; the player has much more time to evaluate than the character, and thus PCs spend a lot less time being unsure what to do than real people).
