Why do people fear losing things that they don't even have yet?

Mental state of worry. Unchecked fear.

Fear is worrying about things that havn't happened yet, or things that might happen but without acknowleding the worrier's can's and can'ts... what they can do to stop it or what they can't do to stop their fear.. in either case, the answer will lead them to accepting "hey i guess im getting eaten by a lion today" and sure they might be scared of the lion but they don't fear it...

worrying is the state of mind when your thoughts spiral, circulate or move between a set of points without moving about in it's normal free way...
"im scared of snakes" "they might bite me" "i don't know where they come from" "they're dangerous" "I can't do anything to stop them" "they will eventually come bite me" "im scared of snakes"

instead of "im scared of snakes, they might bite me, i don't want to have that pain, i want to be happy and healthy... the end."
