Why do I worry about things in the future that probably will never happen?

worrying about your future and what will happen in the future is a normal instinct that most people have. this causes us to worry about these things even tho they are in the future.

We worry because we are uncertain of what will happen in the future. Because of this, we tend to assume what will happen even though they may seem very far from our current realities. Sometimes we also think it's better to worry about them now in order to prepare ourselves for what could possibly happen. We often forget that this is unnecessary worrying. There's no harm in thinking about the future; but we need to remember that the 'now' and our reality is more important than the endless possibilities we can think of.

The future is full of uncertainties so it is normal to worry, one thing you can do is talk to someone about your worries and they can try to help

Worrying really is a waste of time to me, although to pre empt somethings is good that can also get out of control, i dont know why i worry so much ive done it all my life and has always been about work relationships either family or partners plus money issues on top of that let alone worrying about being accepted in society and then to add i worried aboy what people thought of me, i put it down to the lack of self esteem that was missing from childhood, coming from parents who were on occasions abusive to me verbally as well as physically with no interaction into the direction in life that i feel i should of been given, im pretty sure the way the worrying has been installed was by threats from my parents and later by employers eg, if you dont do this and wait til your dad gets home or in work, the way your going your going to be sacked or in some cases the business is not doing so well. So those are the seeds that have been sown through out life and so the worrying grew to the point where it unbearable, it creates a stressful world to live in but thankfully i have managed to calm that down and labelled the worrying into plans, dont get me wrong i still have my moments.
