Who else is a non-worrier?

[vettechick99]

I don't seem to worry much about anything. This is me most of the time

Am I an oddity or can anyone relate?

 

[AKL_Megs]

Nope, not me. This is me...

 

[Stitchfans]

Nope, not me. This is me...

that's me too. I know it doesn't solve anything, but I just can't help it.

 

[Chris2597]

Wow, I would love to be this way. I seem to worry and think everything to death. What is your secret?

 

[bigbabyblues]

Nope, not me either.....though I wish I could be!

 

[emer95]

Must be freakin' nice!!

 

[antmaril]

Nope, not me. This is me...

This is me too! I worry about just about everything

I'm pretty laid back about most things...my mom is a major worrier, and it's always driven me crazy. I've lived through some pretty crazy times, though, so I think that's helped me get a sense of perspective about life and what I choose to get worked up about.

Once in a while I spend a night stewing over something, but in the end I always realize how silly that is. I make a conscious effort to avoid worrying about something until there's really a reason to worry (there's no point stressing about 'what if's), and I also try to 'let things go' if I can't change them. It's not easy, but practice seems to paying off. Then again, maybe it's all the lithium found in the groundwater here .

I think that's it. My mom worries about everything and nags, nags, nags. Love her, but it's exhausting. But I also think I'm more like my dad. We just kinda roll with the punches!

I am not much of a worrier. I just let things go, whatever happens, happens. It always drives me crazy when a co-worker will say they were up all night thinking about something that did or will go wrong at work. The only thing that gets you is a bad night's sleep!

Yes, seeing how much energy the worrying takes from my mom has made me swear to myself that I'd never live that way.

Of course, my mom probably freed me of a lot of worry growing up...since she had already thought of all the possible negative outcomes for every activity and done her best to prepare for every single one of them, I knew that I could just relax and enjoy myself .

I am so not a worrier. I don't waste my time worrying about stuff I can't change. I'm also not a "better safe than sorry" kind of person who goes out of their way to "protect" her family from things are are not likely to happen. For instance, I don't worry about random pedophiles when my DD uses a public bathroom alone.

 

[MinnieMe87]

I have my moments, but most of the time I'm just carefree. I try not to let too much worry me. I'd miss out on too much if I spent my time worrying!

 

[tchrrx]

Thanks alot! Now I'm worried b/c I can't be on this list that you're on.

 

[Buckalew11]

I let a lot of things go...a lot of important things go and don't seem to worry to much about them. I worry more about the small things. I think I must think that I have a better chance at controling the small things and not the big things, lol.

I'm so worried about things right now that I feel like the stress will give me cancer. Out of my control, out of my hands and yet, I am torn up something fierce. So, I guess I'm feeling like "if it doesn't kill me, it'll make me stronger".
So, be thrilled you don't worry. It'd be nice to never worry.

I wish I could learn to be non worrier. I am definitely a worry wart. Right now I am worried about a few things that can keep me up at night. Not good. I need to learn to do meditation or Tai Chi.

That made me giggle.

 

[brockash]

I'm pretty much the same way. The only thing I'd say I overly worry about are my kids safety, but even then I don't think I'm way overboard. Otherwise, not much worries me. I always tell ppl. that if you have bad news to give me or something to tell me that you think I'd worry about; tell me and give me a few hrs. and by then I'll have a plan in mind and I'll be fine.

I would so love to be a non-worrier. I actually am trying very hard to change my worry wart nature. I have come to the conclusion that worrying makes me always think...."I will enjoy life when this or that is over and resolved"...The worrier misses so much, overlooks so many true blessings in their life, as we become so focused on the problem, instead of the blessings.
I have a situation with one of my adult children that is stressful and has made me to the point of feeling ill lately. I have overlooked many true blessings and wonderful things going on all around me because of it....Before that I was dealing with an ill and very elderely parent for many yrs. I was sort of a passive observer of all other great blessings that were being put in my lap but was so consumed with being the caregiver and stress that I sort of missed alot.
I want to have the stresses/worries be a hum in the background that I am dealing with. I want to be able to be engaged in the great life that is going on around me. Worry and stress can be all consuming...So i am working very hard to add myself to the list of non-worriers in this thread. I want to enjoy my wonderful dh, dd's, sil, gk's, and even my pain in the rear ds....Worry needs to be a hum, not a symphony...
Does this make sense?
