Why do we suddenly get too anxious about our future?

The future is full of possibilities and these realm of possibilities mean our mind will try to predict what can happen. 'Can' and not 'will'. So when you want something good to happen but you fear something bad can happen, you imagine all the possibilities that can happen. That's why we get anxious about our future. We try to live in our future, we want to secure it, we want to have assurance that it will be good.

We get too anxious about our future because we never know what is going to happen in the future. We don't know if we are going to get into the college we want, get the job we want, have the type of family that we want. The future is full of unanswered questions.

Well, I'm not sure exactly, but I can say that, in my opinion, we look at where we want to go, who we want to be and how we're going to get there, and it's just daunting when you look ahead like that,a whole world of obstacles and what-ifs! I guess that's why...

When we face reality , we get scared. we get scared that we are not acting the way we should in order to achieve our dreams. It makes us worried eventually.

I think this is because we feel that the future is beyond our control so we wonder "What if this happens? What if that happens?I'd better not do it! And if that was to happen, how will I control it?". So basically I think the anxiety comes from our own insecurities and our own personal desire to control everything around us. All we need is to let go..

It is the unknown. Things are always scary when we don't know what is happening, or going to happen, and when we can't control it. The future is something that comes from our present. That is why we need to live our lives and be open to new experiences and opportunities, while keeping our minds sharp and making good choices. That is a way we can have control over our futures and lessen the anxiety.

Our feelings are often tied to our thoughts. Recalling something we have recently observed and the thought associated with it can help us determine what we are feeling anxious about. For example, realizing that the end of a school semester is just around the corner could make someone think "I am not prepared~" leading to anxiety about the future. Some anxiety is natural and signal a need to act. However, in becoming too anxious, we need to follow our thoughts, identify our area of anxiety and work on challenging beliefs and behaviors associated with that anxiety. It may be something we can prevent or lessen once we allow ourselves to focus on the thought and think of it rationally instead of emotionally.

The future is daunting as there are plenty of unknowns things which contribute to its overall makeup; the future is comprised of the unknown; the future is unknown and sometimes these uncertainties take a toll on us, causing us to panic, to be anxious, to be unconfident and fearful; its important to stay optimistic and positive, to pursue opportunities with an open mind, to live life to the fullest. You can do it, just take it one step at a time, breathe in and out.

The future is something that is unknown. There's no definite answer no matter how much you try to find one which can be very frightening and intimidating.
