Do you constantly anticipate and plan for trouble in simple daily outings?

9/10 times nothing ever happens but i constantly find myself analyzing everything, situations and what if scenarios that i just can't help. And I am talking about daily simple tasks

[bobalife]

Yeah, I used to do it when I am on guard with extreme anxiety and thinking the worse of anything to protect myself, make sure I know I am in control or know what I’m doing, and prevent the worse scenarios in my head. It can be helpful in some ways, but it can also caused extreme detrimental to my mental health, tasks, and socially. I just had to learned when to step back, breathe, and tell myself everything will be okay.


& now I want to pass it onto you… everything will be okay and I’m sure you got this whatever that may be that’s on your mind :)

omg that sounds awful! hope it's toned down now :)

[bobalife]

Aww thank you ☺️ It definitely got a lot better over time. Still sneaks up on me sometimes… I try my best to hide it, but internally it can still be difficult...

[Blueoceanna]

I swear I am. I consider the worst-case scenario and try to play it safe

[Blueoceanna]

Thanks for mho

Absolutely not. What a horrific and paranoid way to go through life.

[Asker]

I definitely doesn't come from being paranoid but from a place being prepared should anything do happen, and often wanting something to happen that adrenaline kick

[DryGermanGuy]

Well, I sure do appreciate the calm and safe suburbia around me.

[Asker]

I get that when I a in nature, as oppose to busier places haha

Be polite be professional but have a plan to take everyone out everywhere and every time.

Absolutely always have my head on a swivel. Also part of what I did for over 30+ years.

Would love to hear more about your story man

[queenofcardio]

Never. I've never needed to.. I'll be cautious if I'm runnning at night but I don't usually anticipate something is going to happen.

Perfect crime target.

[spartan55]

If you mean my situational awareness. Yes, it is always switched on.

[exitseven]

Yes, it's a super bet something bad will happen

[Asker]
