DISCUSSION: Worried

When you worry about something or someone you think that something bad is going to happen but then it turns out that something good happened.

When someone tells you “he/she is fine, no need to worry”, but you worry all the time. How do you guys feel when you are worried about something or someone?

I usually have an awful knot in my stomach until I’m 100% sure everything is fine :grimacing:

I am worried most of the time tbh for one thing or another.

And if someone tells me they are fine, I start thinking even more that they aren’t.

And I usually find that I am right.

Whenever I’m worried then I can’t sleep and I always cry. I once didn’t sleep for a few days simply because I was worried. I never tell other people about it though because they either laugh at me or tell me to grow up

I always get just- A really bad gut feeling. And it’s really annoying/distracting! I get worried over the most stupid things - like whether or not my friends are gonna cancel plans or something. It makes it hard to focus, haha.

Apparently meditation is good for this. I have headspace, so I’ll try it out and get back to you :wink:

I can confirm: meditation does help (Freudian slip — my phone changed “meditation” to “medication”). It just takes a while to see the benefits!

I’ve been doing this recently, there’s this short easy meditation I know that takes like a minute to do and I have been jittery lately and it’s calmed me down.

As a worrier, I’m also guilty of doing this ;—; Ironically, I am always worried that I give incorrect or useless advice when it comes to this (or anything really).

Some people say I overthink but I’ve gotten so used to it now. I tend to overanalyse all aspects of whatever I’m worried about and I usually won’t stop thinking about it until I consider it ‘resolved’ or something more worrying comes up…

I tend to worry about saying the wrong thing or offending people for [reasons] ;-;

Does anyone say something and then stare at the person you’re talking to and think “they hate me, don’t they?” even though they’ve done nothing to suggest that?

I do it at work all the time “I made a joke. He’s going to fire me, isn’t he?”

I used to think a variation on this.

“I made a joke. Do it then. Fire me. COWARD. DO IT”
