    I know how draining it is to hear someone who verbalizes their worst case scenario for every situation, but they might just be paranoid.

      My good friend is paranoid to the point of hearing things that aren’t there. I believe he may be schizophrenic. We’ve talked about it and he can’t shake it. The funny thing is he has so little anxiety compared to me and I’m often envious.

        Yeah, the person I know is worried about a lot of things, but doesn’t seem anxious about any of it. Like always being worried that if the temp reaches zero the pipes will freeze, that if it rains then all roads are automatically slippery and dangerous, or that if something is misplaced that it was stolen despite consistently showing up later.

        But it is really just assuming the worst will happen, and she moves right on to the next thing.
