I can't understand why I seem to find myself worrying about dying of things that statistically effects older people than younger such as prostate or bowel/colon cancers but yet I find myself not worrying at all from being more likely to be killed in a car crash outside my house or being run over or even from things like testicular cancer that can affect younger men and check regularly every month. I had a colleague at work before the pandemic who had a heart attack in his early 30s and was but into a coma and even don't worry much about that happening to me right now despite there being times as a child worrying about heart attacks.
