Are you a worrier?

[Kid Presentable]

LOL LOL the ultimate worrier once were worriers

My old man was an old man (55 when he had me) and as a kid I used to always worry about coming home and finding he'd keeled over frying some eggs or something. I used to wind myself up about finding him dead.

I try to be relaxed about shit for the most part as an adult, but I still have a wicked 'worst case scenario' setting. I guess the goal is to try to make sure I only worry when it's appropriate.

You?

I worry about the ever decreasing intelligence of the human race

[hpdrifter]

I had those kinds of fears when I was a kid too, I was irrationally terrified of nuclear war and volcanos.

Anyway, I do the worst case scenario thing too, maybe not the healthiest outlook but at least I'm always prepared.

[Kid Presentable]

We're quite alike.

[trailerprincess]

I used to worry about dying a lot as a child, especially when my parents basically built a bunker in the cellar of the house in case of nuclear war. This was complete with bedding and food.

I have since learned to not stress about things I can't control. Though I do always keep bottled water and tinned food in the house. JUST IN CASE.

This was soooooo my new year's resolution.

[Kid Presentable]

Yeah that whole circle of influence thing, where you only try to influence things you can control; you really do find your own personal sphere of influence grows.

Crazy. I had the same fears as a child. I think it may have been all the made for tv movies that centered around nuclear holocaust at the time and the Mount St Helens thing. Those fears have since been supplanted with worrying about drowning in cold dark water. And clowns. And toys talking to me in the middle of the night. Normal stuff mostly.

I'm so worried about what's happenin' today, in the middle east, you know.
And I'm worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow.
I'm so worried about the fashions today, I don't think they're good for your feet.
And I'm so worried about the shows on TV that sometimes they want to repeat.

I'm so worried about what's happenin' today, you know.
And I'm worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow.
I'm so worried about my hair falling out and the state of the world today.
And I'm so worried about bein' so full of doubt about everything, anyway.

I'm so worried about modern technology.
I'm so worried about all the things that they dump in the sea.
I'm so worried about it, worried about it, worried, worried, worried.

I'm so worried about everything that can go wrong.
I'm so worried about whether people like this song.
I'm so worried about this very next verse, it isn't the best that I've got.
And I'm so worried about whether I should go on, or whether I should just stop.

I'm worried about whether I ought to have stopped.
And I'm worried about, it's the sort of thing I ought to know.
And I'm worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow.

I'm so worried about whether I should have stopped then.
I'm so worried that I'm driving everyone 'round the bend.
I'm worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow

don't worry, be happy

I worry I'm not happy though

[jabumbo]

if i ever need something to be worried about, i just tell my mom the situation and she will do plenty of it for me.


maybe her overly worrying self is why i tend to never do it myself. or maybe it was the life lessons taught by the drug dealer who hung out on the corner by my house.

[gbsuey]

My littlest son at the moment keeps havlng this conversation about who will die first, it'll be his dad, then me, his big brother, then him and just earlier i was telling him it might not work that way, as any one of us could go first but as i was talking i just kept thinking SHUTUUUP coz i used to worry loads about anything happening to my family when i was a kid. And i worried about nuclear war too and drug dealers- i thought there would be no escape from "pushers" ! But apart from the usual worries you get as a result of watching the news or reading newspapers i pretty much stay optimistic.....i think, most of the time anyway...or do i....oh crap

[cosmo105]

I am constantly worrying about the people that I love dying, and never being able to say goodbye to them. Dealing with death at a somewhat young age probably planted that seed in me.

I don't have heart attacks over very little things, but death is pretty much always on my mind.

[X] Worrier

Got it from mom dukes.

[cosmo105]

My grandma was the ultimate worrier, and my mom "rebelled" by being the most laid-back, calm person ever (yet she's by far the most together, get-shit-done person I know). I think it skips a generation.

[Lyman Zerga]

im over concerned about the most little ridiculous things sometimes

like crossing the street or crap like that

[RobMoney$]

I fear becoming homeless or destitute one day.
Shit gives me mad motivation for the cheddar.

[roosta]

I worry I don't worry enough.

[cookiepuss]

I've been an incessant worrier since I was in kindergarten.

My parents would put me to bed. and hour later they'd find me sitting on the stairs.
Mom: "Why are you up?"
Me: "...I don't know if the outfit we picked out for tomorrow is going to work. We are going a field trip so maybe I shouldn't wear a skirt, cause what if....blah blah blah."
Mom: "OMG, you're 6. Stop worrying and go to bed!"

not much has really changed.

[Guy Incognito]

used to worry and dither over everyhting, now i just worry about my kids but its important not to show your worried to the kids so i do ok now

[DipDipDive]

I'm constantly on edge about something. Always have been.

I, too, feared nuclear war and death growing up. I had terrible separation anxiety from my mom when I was a tyke. Every time she left the house, I had paralyzing visions of her being involved in a car crash or something equally catastrophic and never seeing her again (probably a result of watching too many graphic movies at too young an age). I wasn't ever involved in many physical activities or organized sports because I feared injury.

Over time, my worrisome tendencies began to manifest themselves in social situations. I have wicked social anxiety. It's not as bad as it used to be, but it's still there. There are just so many things that can go wrong between people...I rarely let my guard down fully out of fear of not being accepted, being judged, my trust being betrayed, etc. All of the above have happened to me A LOT in recent years, so it's a constant struggle to move forward with a positive outlook. I wish I could turn off the thoughts that I have and the nervousness they cause, but I just can't and it sucks.

So yes. I'm a worrier.

you still go on field trips?
