Things you worry needlessly about

I'm really worried right now, about several things. I just need to talk to someone about it, I guess.

I think alot of people worry about little things that bring them joy or comfort rather than the big real world stuff.
I try not to worry anymore...coz I feel I have nothing left to lose.

Things I worry about needlessly? Everything. 
Really, I'm an insane worrier.

I worry when I start reading a new sci-fi or especially a new fantasy novel that characters and places will be brought up and that I won't fully remember them later and then I'll not properly understand the story.
I also worry about my dogs choking on something when we're not at home, or a fire when I'm not at home.

I worry needlessly anytime I have to go somewhere new. Not trips or vacations or anything, but like, running errands. It's one of the reasons I haven't opened a new banking account since I moved in October. I don't want to go inside a new bank!
I went to pick up a job application at a new bar last week. I circled the building, left the parking lot, drove around a bit, came back, and circled the building again before I eventually parked and went inside.

The only things i worry about are my kid's. Their health and safety. After that, everything else is just moot.
This. Anything that requires me to interact with new people, I'll put off. I took a Census job test last night, at my old high school, and I knew I had to leave by 5:40 to get there a little early (time to park, walk inside, find the classroom, find a seat). Left more like 5:45, hit every red light and skidded into the room at 6 on the dot... and got stuck sitting in a front row seat. ::cringe::
But going through airport security to go on vacation, navigating Grand Central Station, anything like that, I have no problem with. Go figure.
Yes. I have noticed recently that my stress level is much higher than it has ever been, yet I have every reason to be happy. So I went to a doctor, a naturopath who was on a local talk show discussing stress. We examined my eating, drinking, etc., by me keeping a food diary. And he ran a complete blood workup. Turns out my "bad" cholesterol levels were too high, which they have never been until now, my blood pressure was up, which has never been the case before, and there was an indication of dehydration. Above all, my caffeine levels were way high. So I cut my coffee down to two cups a day, in the morning, and started to drink mint tea after 12, and lots of water. I also switched to low fat cheese and rice cake snacks. Every morning I do the sun salutation yoga exercise. Within a month, my blood pressure was down to normal and the stress symptoms were gone.
Your mileage may vary, but I have discovered that I didn't need to use drugs to get back to normal, I just had to find out the ways I was hurting myself and change my habits.

Any time I have to give a training presentation in front of a live classroom full of people I worry about it almost constantly for the week or so leading up to it. I'll read and re-read the material I am going to give over and over. Then when it actually happens it's a laid back situation with pretty much no possibility of failure. I'm not sure what I think is going to happen that is so bad, but it's never as bad as I think it's going to be.
I don't feel too foolish for this fear, as I understand it public speaking is one of the top fears, even over fear of death. citation provided

I constantly worry that I have either left a door unlocked. I will be sitting in my car with the engine running and will get out to check the front door is locked or go in to check the other doors are locked. Not once have I found a door unlocked.
I also do it with my car. I've walked half way across a car park or will be in my house and I'll go back to the car to check it is locked. Since the one instance when my brother left his hand brake off his car and it rolled down our driveway and took out the neighbours brick mailbox I now also constantly check my handbrake as I do if I have locked my car.

Based on what I've seen of you, Kestra, they're probably thinking nice, appreciative things.
Oh yeah, me too. I hate going to new buildings - what if I get lost? how will I find the washroom? (doesn't help that I do have a very bad sense of direction, so these are actually reasonable worries to have!)
I have a weird thing about walking into somewhere and meeting people. Not even new places necessarily, just anywhere I have to meet someone. Even if it's a place I've been to a lot and I'm meeting someone I've known for years. It makes me anxious for no reason, and it's always fine when I do it. I think it stems back to when I was at school and I hadn't got glasses yet - I was super short-sighted and for a long time when I met my friends in town on a weekend I wouldn't know they were walking towards me till they were about three feet away
Hurrah for opticians!
I worry about people that are close to me, if they are happy that is. I try to make everyone confortable and take myself out of the equation. Very bad for my health.
