My Talents Include: Creating the Worst Case Scenarios in My Head and Worrying about Them for Hours

I'm more of a worrior than a warrior. What is a worrior, you ask? Easy. It is a person who worries about everything. I am probably the most pessimistic person you will ever meet. Negativity is the only thing I know. Did a really hard test? You probably failed. Did a really easy test? You probably managed to fail it. It’s a very strange mentality, I know. Always thinking negatively or thinking that you failed. If I think negatively and expect nothing good to happen, if nothing good happens in the end, I won’t be disappointed because I was not expecting anything great. If something good happens in the end, I’ll be shocked but impressed. I’m never setting myself up for disappointment because I never have high expectations for anything.  Instead of thinking about a desired future, I will make up endless scenarios in my head of bad things that could happen and 90% of the time, things end up being fine. In an unusual way, I get my positivity through my negativity. The only downside to this is that it is very stressful. Constantly thinking you did a bad job, you did not try hard enough, can really drain you out both physically and mentally. So that is why I’ve decided to try to be more optimistic. It is going to be hard, but I accept this challenge. College is stressful as it is with assignments after assignments, tests and exams, the last thing I need is more unnecessary stressing. I’m giving up this way of thinking and adopting the optimistic way of life!
