Worrying

Worrying is repetitive thinking about possible threats and negative scenarios, often without taking specific action.

Definition

Worrying can give the illusion of preparation because the mind is trying to anticipate risks. However, if it does not lead to a plan, decision or action, it begins to maintain tension. High and long-term worrying may be associated with anxiety and it is worth considering specialist support.

Common misunderstanding

It is a mistake to confuse worry with responsibility. It is also a mistake to suppress fear without naming what you are trying to predict.
