Why do we worry about things we have no control over?

we tend to anticipate and when we are in control , we feel comfortable because we are on track.


when we aren't in control we will tend to try and anticipate problems and it drives us crazy cause we can't do anything about it, cause we want everything to turn up well.to some people worrying is a sign of caring about something, because they think that if you care about about something you'll worry about it.but for me it's not that i don't worry, it that i think that the energy and time spent on worrying may be better spent doin something about it and if you can't do anything about it, then you should save your energy and effort to when you CAN do something about it instead of wastin it worrying about and this attitude tends to drive my wife wild and she always says that i don't care which isn't true.


God bless,

hi!! hot coco puff.Why do we worry about things we have no control over?
Because we are all obsessed with being perfect, when people are just beautiful in their own way! AARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Why do we worry about things we have no control over?
Because we are always hoping that we can handle the problem. It's not a good feeling to know that you have no control over the situation.





That's why I am thankful that God is in control of all things at all times. It doesn't matter if you don't believe in God because He is a fact and He is available for those that request His presence.
hey beutiful





';worry'; ??? what is this worry?? i never worry.. especialy thing that i cant change !
human nature provides us with a desire to make everything logical and in control. so, despite knowing things are beyond our control, we must still try
Because that's part of your ';training';. See http://www.ajna.com/articles/osho/ego_th鈥?/a> for some interesting insights on point :))
It's because we have no idea how things will turn out in the end. People are afraid of the unknown...
Fear!
Cause they affects us directly or indirectly. If they don't they not worth 'worrying' about.
i try not to but i do sometimes i dont know why
Self will. Everybody wants to have things their own way.
Hot Coco, I really do worry about my bladder.
Oh, we are stuck too deep into expectations about those things, blinded enough to be unable to 'see', observe, look, perceive, 'behold' %26amp; grasp the 'ground' realities !
Because we are searching for control.
We have reached a stage in our cultural ';evolution'; where we no longer have to worry about food, shelter, survival, preditors etc. We have to put all that energy to good use.
the thaught that I have no control on the things I have no control does not comes to my mind.so we worry
I guess we worry cuz we have no control over them
We worry because of the following reasons:-





(1) Fear of loss,


(2) Ulterior desire to get something,


(3) Lack of mental poise,


(4) Moha or infatuation, etc.





Even if we know for certain that we cannot control something, then also we are disturbed because we are affected by the above four factors anyway.





One who is not affected by the above four factors is a Yogi, and this is what the Bhagavad Gita urges us to become, in the 6th chapter, 46th verse. ';Be a Yogi';, exhorts the Bhagavad Gita.
Because it makes us feel as if we do have some amount of control.


Besides,it gives us something to do while we're waiting for the other shoe to fall!
A worrying person is afraid and insecure. Possibly a more interesting and revealing question would be why do we worry about things we can control?
';If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry.'; ~~ Dalai Lama
uncertainty is basis for anxiety. Way to release distress. It can also act as form of control over what we worry abt. ie. if yr loved one don't want u to worry for him, they will think twice before they act.
The only thing we can control is ourselves and our thoughts/feelings. Something about our nature makes many of us worriers we just have to we cannot help it. Those slightly more in control like myself manage to live productive lives as well as being worryworts lol
When a responsibility lies within your grasp, you can be assured that you will make the best decision. However when somebody else retains the responsibility and control, you can't. .





Control can, has and will be fatal!





There are of course very good sides to control, it all rides down to 'Who has the control?' and 'What do they want to do with the control?'





Many thanks :-}
humans animals, we all wish to control things it happens in the wild and everyday in society the reason we want to is because we are afraid of change (well most of us) to be truly happy just roll with what life throws at you. we all have the control of our own actions and reactions learning to control them is key.
because I am an ego maniac and I want to have control over all. What are we going to do tonight Pinky? The same thing we do every night... TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD
that is the very foundation of life. after getting to know about this world, we consider ourselves as super beings. warning signal for such thinking is ';uncertainties hovering around the man'; against which man has no control but has constant fear!
