It is natural to worry about things that we can't control. Many people will worry about insignificant or significant but low probability mishaps.

You may worry about things that probably may not ever happen because you had a bad experience in the past and you're more worried about what it will be later on in your future.

Being afraid of the unknown is a normal reaction for anyone. Some people handle it better but it isn't easy for everyone. It shows that you care about yourself and others surrounding you. It helps to take one day at a time, and I know it's not an easy thing to do. But just remember that not everything is made to be controlled. Just breathe and know that tomorrow can take care of itself.

Because that is what anxiety is. It will plague your mind with little things that either don't matter in the long run or will never happen.

The "unknown" can manifest fear in all of us at times. It is important to focus on the here and now and do the best we can with what we are dealing with there.

It's our brains trying to be sure we are prepared for events, if they ever happen to us in the future.

I guess the main reason is lack of self confidence for me and maybe the need of feeling safe. I am living in a troubled country and this is a genuine reason to be afraid of the possibilities.

Because it is human nature to prepare for possible threats to your, or other lives around you. And personally, expecting the worst, does keep you going when you have to do that activate because chances are, it will go ALOT better than you think.

That's overthinking. Overthinking leads to anxiety, so don't stress much about it! You should focus on the present.

Something that is going to happen in the future is going to happen if you worry about it or not, we cannot control what happens but we can learn to control how we deal with it.
