What do people have anxieties over?

Rian

Hello all.

  • What do you have anxieties over?  I have anxieties about food, my health and online security amongst other things..
Parents

  • i can't stand people wasting things, for example:

    • when people buy food but then don't eat it and it goes out of date,
    • when people leave all the plugs on in the house even though they aren't using them
    • when people fill up the kettle all the way for just one drink, and then keep re-boiling it over and over again cause they keep forgetting to make that one drink 
    • not recycling properly, throwing recyclable things in the bin
    • when people buy tiny water bottles in bulk, it irritates me so much and they dont even recycle any of them afterwards

    all of these things make me so anxious, sometimes If I'm out with other people I might take their rubbish so I can recycle it at home. I feel more awkward doing that with friends and I wouldn't do it at someone else's house though, more so when I'm out with my parents and siblings. I just can't understand why people would want to mess up the planet even more just for little stupid reasons. I know I'm overreacting a bit but I can't help it.

    There are also so many little anxieties around being in places with lots of people. I hate being indoors all the time but when I go out I regret it and get overwhelmed by the amount of people in such close proximity, the depressing city scenery and the prospect of having to talk to someone

    Haha JoyJoy.  You won't like me then Morgan. I had many  of those traits which you mentioned before like out of date food and overfilling the kettle etc certainly when I was living on my own. Now I am living with my uncle. I am much better. Normally I am very particular on eating food and I don't like eating it past the Best Before/use date. When I go food shopping I try to make sure that I buy food well in advance of Best Before or use by dates but occasionally I have maybe bought a bit too much and it does go past the date that it should be eaten. It is the same with the other things you mentioned like overfilling the kettle or leaving the electricity on when it is not being used. I used to have some of those traits. But my uncle always checks around the house as he is the owner and I am much better at those things and do those things very rarely now or not at all now.
