Things You Worry About (the most)

Post Reply New Topic

Self-explanatory; it's a list of the things you worry about the most.
---
- In a social setting, being looked upon like I am Casey Anthony or Jerry Sandusky because of my bad social skills.
- If I date a girl, the girl ends up hating me and enlists a friend to put a 'bounty' on my head to injure me.
- My parents looking over my shoulder constantly.
- The political world, in general.

I worry that someday I might lose my job solely because my boss is an out-spoken opponent of practically anything President Obama ever said or did.

-That I won't be accepted.
-That I'll always be seen as the weird kid of Port Royal, South Carolina.
-That no girl will want me.
-That critics will trash my writing and see me as a hack.

"Worry is a prayer for something you don't want."

(Saw that recently on a poster.)

-The world ending on December 21, 2013
-Not finding a boyfriend
-Not being able to keep dressing like a guy because of job reasons

Money.

Husband's health getting so bad he won't be able to work anymore nor help me out with our kid and we have less income and it be even more stressful. I am thinking about sticking with only having one child.

Me snapping as a parent. I worry I will lose it one day and beat him like some parents do and they end up as worst parents of the year and are no longer human. I also worry about failing as a parent and being a bad one. Everyone keeps reassuring me I am not a bad parent and my husband says me worrying about beating my son is my subconsciousness to keep me from doing it. Plus he told me whenever he threatens me with a harsh punishment, I never will do it so because he threatened he will give me anus sex and will make me cry and have a puddle of tears and will do it for a long long time if I beat out son, it is now likely I won't do it at all because I won't want a butt spanking he calls it.

--Finding a job
--My parents' health
--My dog
--The next four years

-That I might not make it through college
-That I might not ever find work as a programmer
-Losing what few friends I have
-That my computer can suddenly give up on me at any time
-That everyone I know probably thinks I'm an idiot

Money
The economy

Losing my home
Never being able to find work
My mental health coming completely undone (it can be a bit precarious at times)
Physical illness/injury/needing surgery and having to go through it all alone with no-one to help or care
Dying alone and being found 6 months later when the neighbours complain about the smell (that's a really silly one to worry about, I'd be dead and wouldn't know anything about it! )
Being single for the rest of my days, or even being single until point where a family isn't an option any more

The world economy coming unraveled before I can flee California
An economic collapse that would take away my and my family's income (we're all on disability or govt pensions), thus we would lose our home, and live on the streets
Resources suddenly running out (imagine the president getting on TV one day and saying "uh, remember that oil stuff? There isn't any more. We were lying to you all along. The last of it will be used to transport me and my family to a well stocked bunker. Good luck, America.")
Food stamps becoming worthless, can anybody say Soylent Green?
Obama seizing dictatorial powers and ordering Romney supporters put to death
Did I mention: Not having my medication any more due to an economic/resource collapse, and the voices tormenting me until I commit suicide
And yes, I'm worried that I will die alone, out in the woods, and only be stumbled upon a century later (there was a real case of this, a body of a missing person was found in the Santa Cruz foothills and they searched for evidence, and found a body of a guy who killed himself in the 1880s, according to the coins with the body)

That I may never discover what my passion is.

That I may not adjust well to the working world, if I get a job.

The possibility of the amount of people I talk to declining further.

Adjusting to the fully independent life that I will eventually have to live.

The collapse of the US and this country falling to ruin
Not being able to have access to my medication
Me finally "snapping" and killing or otherwise harming/abusing someone and being labelled as a monster by the media
Me going to prison
Not being able to say goodbye to my mom before she dies (she's not dying right now, but it's still a fear)
Me losing my mind after my mom dies (this is because I am extremely attached to her - even my brother says he worries about this and he and mom have both talked about the real possibility that I may need to be institutionalized after she dies)
My mom not being the same/changing for the worse if my dad dies before her
Losing the ability to have special interests and/or my imaginary world

The safety and health of my family, the people I care about and myself. And my pets.
Disappointing my parents more than I already have.
Being completely alone and helpless at an old age.

I can only imagine, on the note of one of my worries, if there were really bounties against me.
