When you are a pessimist and the bad thing happens, you live it twice. Once when you worry about it, and the second time when it happens.
-Amos Tversky
@RickiTarr You also live it even if it doesn’t happen.
@RickiTarr I have someone close to me that is like that. They are always worried about the worse possible outcome and as a result they suffer from it even when that worse outcome never materialises.
It’s pretty draining.
