I am nothing if not rational about what is worthy of my anxiety and what is not, and I refuse to live my life as if a giant bus is just around the corner, waiting to crush me the minute I step off the curb.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Not being anxious requires a level of humility, doesn't it? It does, I think. It's not all about you.
Practically everybody knows what it's like to feel anxious, worried, nervous, afraid, uptight, or panicky. Often, anxiety is just a nuisance, but sometimes it can cripple you and prevent you from doing what you really want with your life. But I have some great news for you: You can change the way you feel.
There is great beauty in going through life without anxiety or fear. Half our fears are baseless, and the other half discreditable.
Anxiety has afflicted me all my life.
I am bundle of nerves riddled with irrational fears.
I'm totally an anxious mess all the time. There's a constant dialogue going on in my brain, and it's just reminding me of all the failures that I have had, and all of the things I need to do, and all of the things I'm not doing good enough.
Fear and anxiety are great motivators for me.
Anxiety is not fear, exactly, because fear is focused on something right in front of you - a real and objective danger.
I think I have a big fear of things spiraling out of control. Out of control and dangerous and reckless and thoughtless scares me, because people get hurt.
You can't 'work through worry and fear rationally,' because fear isn't rational!
