5 THINGS WE ALL WORRY ABOUT

I was surfing on my favorite site, the Huffington Post, and came across a piece about what keeps ‘over-thinkers’ busy all day. But I don’t think you have to be a chronic over-thinker to be stressed out about something all day. Either that or I belong to the family of worrywarts and wussers, which is also a possibility.

Your friend’s app

You usually end you Whatapp message with xxx-es, hearts or other till-death-do-us-part proclamations of love. All of a sudden you only receive a two word answer and a point mark. Why? What did I do wrong?

Your boss’s email

Your manager asks you to plan an appointment. From that moment on these thoughts keep whirling through your head: Promotion? Is she pregnant? And why is the appointment for next week? Help me out of my misery.

Your last Instagram post

You yourself were very satisfied, even about your added text. But you only got 17 likes in ten minutes. Others probably thought differently. You let your post dangle for another hour or so but if no one bites you ditch it.

Your vacation plans

Is it going to be something adventurous, somewhere far away or will it be the same old Ibiza or Italy? It’s a tough nut to crack.

The weather

Not that I worry about this, but it does determine a huge part of my day. So I’m off to check the weather again. And then check if my weekend plans coincide. And then I worry about the weekend planning in general. Couture-ponderer ; my middle name.
