It's normal for all of us to worry about the future whether they probably will or won't happen, we all fear the uncertainty. Try to focus on the here and now and don't worry about the future until it is here to be worried about!

That's pretty normal, everyone has these moments, sometimes. When you feel insecure or just have a bad day, you start to overthink and make everything worse than it is.

In my experience this is rooted from fear. Fear from different things such as abandonment or just being alone. It can be other things too. This is a good thing to see a therapist about since it would be very helpful in sorting out what you are fearful of and then trying to overcome it.

It's easy to worry about what hasn't happened it, especially if you have anxiety. As humans, we tend to be afraid of what might happen if we do something, thinking the consequences will always come out wrong. But- it's a risk we sometimes have to take. This is completely normal to think about. Taking a chance may have a different outcome.

It's a natural human instinct to fear the unknown or what we cannot see. You are not alone- everybody does it.

I think it's only natural to worry about things in our future, even if there's a small possibility that it would happen. The trick is to not let those things take over your mind and make you dysfuctional.

Anything anxious that may be on our minds can become a worry while we are considering it. Even if it's not likely, if there's a possibility of it happening, chances are, one will stress about it.

Because you don't know what's going to happen, so you worry over it. Kind of like how we worry about our test results. We study lots, but we're still uncertain. What if we fail? The possibility is still there, still endless. It's not bad to worry though. It makes us more cautious.

Because we tend to worry more about our future more than any time else because we don't know what to expect and we don't know what is coming

You're likely to be an over-thinker. You sound like you have too much time on your hand thinking about unlikely events happen. You need to allow yourself enough time to think about your purpose in life. But not enough time to over-think the future.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
