I've been told a lot of times that I worry a lot. But today, that's going to change.

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
Wikipedia says that worries are "thoughts and images of a negative nature in which mental attempts are made to avoid anticipated potential threats. As an emotion it is experienced as anxiety or concern about a real or imagined issue."
But what's the difference between worrying and just simply caring about something? I guess caring is never negative in nature, is it not? You only care about something real whereas worrying can take on nonexistent issues as subjects. When you worry, you experience anxiety. Thoughts start to swim in your head and they become very unsettling. And since you get to decide what to think of, worrying ultimately is a choice - which means anxiety becomes a choice, and being troubled also is a choice. Worrying then is nothing more than creating your own problems. And since caring and worrying are two different things, not worrying doesn't mean not caring.

I love to read this observation., You started to follow your thought pattern and that's great. Worry is an emotion and an emotion is produced by a thought. So you have to find out the real culprit - the thought behind it. Worry is just a projection of the thought. So you should really think about whether the thought that causes your worries matter to you or not ? If the thought is potent enough to cause worry, then you have to worry. If you smell a gas pipe leaking and if your thoughts caused worry in your mind, then it is a signal you to escape or help you to take control of the situation. If you didn't have worries, then a absent minded person will lit a cigarette and you will be blown away. So fear is good, it gives you the key !
I only followed my thought pattern because when I wrote this I was too tired to organize my thoughts. But I'm happy that you loved it. You sound like you study these things. I really think that an outsider's perspective is necessary in releasing worries - some people need a shrink I only need good friends. That doesn't mean however that you'll let your friends' judgment overrule yours. At the end of the day, it is your life and your thoughts you're trying to organize. The thing is sometimes, being alone too often makes you over think. And that's not too good. The same way it's no good when a piece of news gets sensationalized.
Yes.
"The thing is sometimes, being alone too often makes you over think. And that's not too good."
I have experience it myself. I was doing a screenplay for a feature film, I locked myself in my room and almost went insane after 6 months..he he..I mean, so much things happened in my mind and it shattered my valuing process and i am totally confused and i realized that i am no more a happy being. It was really a neurotic time. Sometimes a 9 to 6 job is good to keep your sanity well...he he....
And Scotty, when you get time, read my action blog where you will get a lot of story elements to make a movie or write a novel...he..he...Keep writing about more things about psychology,philosophy and films, if you have time...Cheers
Haha. I had mine after my recent breakup. I had everything thought out over and over and it got to the point where days got extremely heavy. I ended up giving up. The only sad part is I'm the only one who felt the burden because, well they were produced by my own personal thoughts. But recycling pain won't help solve global warming so there's nothing else to do really but to keep moving on. I was not an outdoors person but I found out that it does a great job in keeping my sanity intact. Haha
Thats good man...I had an experience of my ex gal freind teasing me by involving in sensual games with an x rated bloody fu..er in my previous company...I thought she was very good. So I tried to avoid her because i thought i am bad for this angel. But within some moments,angel turned into devil and became bich and what was done infront of me was unimaginable for me, when considering the girls' previous 'angel' character. Well I had my lesson and won't blv cute chicks anymore ...Wont give my heart to them..It's better to watch porn than falling into love again....Lolz..
"It's better to watch porn than falling into love again."
Haha! The other day, a friend from work saw me putting bands-aid on some scratches that I got from wakeboarding last weekend. She said, "That's life outdoors!" She's big into mountain climbing. I replied, "Well, it's better than masturbating at home alone." Haha.
Yes, Life outdoors is better. But i love loneliness because i am the ultimate prisoner of loneliness.
