Are You a Worrier?

[disney junky]

How would you describe yourself?

 

[RangerPooh]

A frequent worrier. Anxious often. Waiting for things to go wrong is not uncommon.

For Christmas one year Santa put a "worry stone" in my stocking. Never used it though...would have probably worn it out.

 

[BrianL]

Yes I am. Very much so. I stress myself out over the most trivial things. It's just my nature.

 

[Klayfish]

No. I can only control the things I can control.

 

[Breezy_Carol]

I do worry. And now my adult daughter is a worrier too.

 

[china mom]

I worry about nothing. DH is a huge worrier, though. It drives me crazy (and I drive him crazy)

 

[aprilchem]

No. I used to be a horrible worrier when I was younger, but consciously decided to stop it. My mother has wasted her whole life worrying, worrying, worrying about things that never happened, and I didn't want to repeat that cycle and pass it along to my children.

 

[antmaril]

Oh, yes. I have always been a worrier. I tell myself that worrying doesn’t change anything, and yet, I still worry.

 

[Skellingtonj]

Yes. And I convince myself the most absurd things are going to happen. It’s super stressful.

 

[ashley0139]

Some things I worry about way too much, some things not at all. Depends on the situation. My dad is super laid back and has never worried about anything a day in his life. My mom worries about every little tiny thing. I am in between them.

 

[Queen of the WDW Scene]

Am I ever!
I'd say I'm a worry wart about my families health, safety, and happiness above everything else in my life.
Just this morning my mom had to go out in the freezing rain and I sat at the door until she got go the car.
I'm also constantly checking on my sister to make sure she is breathing although I have good reason right now since she has multiple PE' in both lungs after having a surgery a couple weeks ago.
I also become very worried and stressed when my family is at odds with each other. Its usually about something stupid that blows over in a day but still I'm always the one trying to be like ok lets calm down. I want to be Danny Tanner and tell them to hug and make up lol.
I also worry about if I left a light on that I meant to turn off and now I'm not going to be home for a few hours.
I'm not super ocd about it but it will linger in the back of my mind until I get home.

 

[Floridaman999]

I'm not sure.
Well, maybe I do worry too much.
No, I'm good.
Sure, that's what I would tell myself whenever I try to convince myself I'm okay.
Now I'm worried that I'm lying to myself.
Yep, I probably am a worrier.

 

[Uncle Coaster]

When it comes to my job I am a big time worrier. Full night sleeps on weeknights are a rarity for me.

When it comes to my personal life I don’t worry much at all. Whatever happens happens and I know things will work themselves out the way they were meant to.

 

[L&Lfan]

Generally, no. I’m 59 and never been much of a worrier. I’ve pretty much always been a “what will be, will be” kinda guy.

 

[GreatLakes]

No. If I can control it I do what I can to control it. If I can't worrying won't do anything but hurt.

 

[kimblebee]

No. If I can control it I do what I can to control it. If I can't worrying won't do anything but hurt.

This is me too. If there are things I can control, I plan so that if A, B, C, or D happen, I know how to deal with it.

 

[design_mom]

I am. I'm really consciously trying to get better. I'm succeeding... a little.

But to be fair to myself, I've been cool as a cucumber in several emergencies and I credit it to thinking through (also known as "worrying about") these scenarios in advance. So when one happens, I know what I'm gonna do becuase I've run through this in my head -- possibly many times.

 

[RUDisney]

My mantra is "you can't worry about what is." Worrying only makes you sick. You can take steps to improve a situation or to make it stay the same, but worrying about it won't change or improve anything.

 

[lynxstch]

Oh, yes. I have always been a worrier. I tell myself that worrying doesn’t change anything, and yet, I still worry.

Yes, that's me to a T also!

 

[mco65]

Occasionally. Its hard not to worry at least a little sometimes. Little things i do not worry about but bigger things will tend to concern me some but not to the point of ulcers.
