How much do you worry?

How much do you worry on a daily basis about anything and everything?

On a scale of 1 to 10.

1 being don't worry at all and 10 being worry all the time.

This question stems from the fact that I personally worry too much.

Worry meaning thinking about stuff going wrong and thinking about people's well being or thinking about consequences in general.

I'm with you Marg- we're very similar. Prime example: Vide Dulce.

That would describe me quite accurately. I don't worry much about myself, it's mostly about people I care about.

It amazes me that some people do not worry and go through life without a care in the world. I think worrying makes me a better person, forces me to take things more seriously and make the right choices.

I said 6 but this is dependent on whether I think things are in control. When I procrastinate or slack off from things I have to do then I get overwhelmed and anxious and I guess that could be considered worrying. but right now I don't worry too much about things outside of what is in my control.
I have little mantras I repeat in my head when I worry or things seem too much which help put whatever it is I'm worrying about into perspective.

That sounds like a very good idea.

good strategy.

so what are they?

"i can't control what is happening" or something to that effect? I guess it depends on the situation.

do you think that is unusual?

it seems not a lot of people worry about other people.

maybe it's unusual but it's what feels right to me. people not worrying about other people is what's with society today. i know people who don't give two shits about their family or what not. how sad is that.

Nine.

Way too much for my own good.

It's funny, I got thinking about mantras after reading that book, "a million little pieces." Although the book isn't based on a true story, it SEEMS real, and reading what this guy "went through" reinforced the notion that, as individuals, we are capable of handling anything life throws at us and capable of solving any of our problems with a little patience, planning, and dedication.

In the book, the main character James is taught a mantra by someone else in the centre and that is "hold on." Even just holding on or enduring on a moment by moment basis eventually becomes an hour by hour basis and longer.

I also try to remind myself to step back and ask, "will this event or thing I'm stressed about have any significance in my life in 5 or 10 years?" consciously assessing how important things are in the scope of your life can really help you calm down.

You've pretty much described me. I said 4.

Often I find that me worrying about something will not change the outcome of a situation.

So, since I don't need the stress from worrying, I just don't do it.

Shit happens. Life sucks sometimes.

Deal with it as it comes.

Worrying is not going to change that fact.

when I was younger I use to worry way to much about things...especially in my university years....when I was 15 I had a stomach ulcer due to stress.

Nowadays I don't worry about things and don't let stress get to me. What doesn't get done today can get done tomorrow. There is only so much you can do in any given day so work hard, play hard and get ready to do it all again tomorrow.

I dont worry a lot. Yes i know thats hard to believe.

Yes i do express myself a lot and have strong opinions. But i definately dont worry as much as most people. Especially about daily life events. Most of what happens in this world is beyond my control so why should i consume my energy worrying about "what if"

(side note... it is fun to debate politics and what ifs in that context but that honestly does not translate into most of my real life)

I do however take as much care of the people i care about as i possibly can to ensure their well being.

Caring about others doesnt mean you have to be worried about them constantly. Thats just unhealthy.

I'm the biggest worrywart.

I used to worry quite a bit until i lived in greece for the last 7 months. The worry-free lifestyle has rubbed off on me and i like it!!

INFLUENCE & ABILITY

Worry about the things that you have influence and ability to change.

Everything else? Don't waste the emotional energy.

OK, so what some of you guys are saying is this.

One of my biggest worries is the well being of friends. Since I cannot change their actions I should not care?

10 , my fucking anxiety kills me sometime. increased heart beat ,dizziness and headaches.

I consider myself at 10 x 2

Anyone that knows me, knows I worry WAY to much

6...which is considerably high for me.

I am about a 4. I don't worry alot, and I am usually pretty relaxed.

it depends on whats going on but i put a 2...
I try not to worry about too much, but sometimes that is unavoidable.
