It's all in your head ??

oh such a thing... "Hope for the best and expect the worst". "Control the controllable" "No sense worrying about the future it aint happened yet" "F tomorrow, today is a great day"

The fyootyoore is inevitable, for sure.

That is kinda why it is the fyootyoore.

Don't like this plan?

K, so the fyootyoore AIN'T inevitable.

Yipes!

Bum optschwaahn!

Call me a cock-eyed hoppertimist, but them's the facts far as I can see.

Thing is, how canya deal with this colossal scope for inevitabyool possibility (or evin ... Yipes 2 ... the world ends tamara) RIGHT NOW?

The emergent & propulsive moment will (gracefully an' beautifully) deny you actschwl touch on the fyootyoore forevah.

How long it seems now since I wrote "The fyootyoore is inevitable, for sure" -- an' what reflections an' directional ass 'pon dowin' so I may have ... now.

I don't know Matthew McConaughey (certainly nevah dated the guy) but I see he acknowledges the plight of all who wandah 'bout the Here & Now with functchnin' brainos an' wondah what zackly they thinkin'.

I guess it is easiah to git wappy 'bout stuff than to say SHADDAP -- an' rest.

Bcs the prompts of the Caahsmaahs now registah easiah an' more frequent than the prescence (an' significance) of mere stars.

But the fyootyoore is always gonna be the fyootyoore less'n sumthin' REAL FRICKIN' CRAZY HAPPENS.

So we gotta speculate kindly upon her magnitood, I guess.

That is what in muh head rn bcs wishsy dishsy Sagittarian bonhomie.

Might work.

Bcs who knows?

Nuthin' beyond this moment ain't nevah happened yet -- so ****in' git in there!

absolutely thats what many people do all the time..

It seems to be easier to expect the worst instead of expecting the best depending on the general experiences of the individual.

There's definitely a truth to the fact we (*or at least the majority) magnify the negatives, although some things you just cannot control.

For whatever the reason; be it primitive instincts or what have you... it does appear when nuances and problems arise they often tend meld to the forefront of people's minds, thoughts, and behaviors.

Funny thing being,I've been on a positive roll since the last week in January as things just started lining up... and here I am looking for something to go wrong, as if things wouldn't be normal if it didn't, lol

It works both ways.

Nearly every thing we experience is neither as bad or as good as what we anticipate or fear.

The reason is that we are always dealing with incomplete information before any event or new experience. So our imagination fills in the gaps with either increasing the dread or increasing the expectation of a great experience.

Most fear or excitement is our imagination setting unfounded expectations.

Psychologists said "it's OK to not be OK" and "stay away from toxic positivity"

Just my 2 USDT

That quote by McConaughey is almost identical to a famous quote by Mark Twain: "I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened."

Also, Seneca said: "There are more things, Lucilius, likely to frighten us than there are to crush us; we suffer more often in imagination than in reality."

I very much agree with these quotes, although I think it depends on your personality to some degree. People with anxiety issues, for example, are usually more prone to endless rumination and imagining worst case scenarios.
