Anxiety about the future

Anyone else have an inability to visualize the future?

I've noticed that I have trouble thinking about my future plans, to the point that it stresses me out a lot. I often feel as though I'm expected to have some kind of general idea of what I want to do (because everyone else does, right?), and I always feel uncomfortable when talking about my future because I just don't know what it looks like for me.

Does anyone else feel like this too? If so, what are some ways to mitigate it/come to terms with it?

@cocoafp191 I've never seen a future. I didn't expect to make it this far. But there's no race, no age limit and should be no pressure on what your future looks like. As they say 'we can't change the past, and we don't know our future'. So you know what just do whatever makes you happy right now. It's all about living now not in 10 years time ❤❤
