As a self-proclaimed worry wart, I often face the situation where my worries are not taken seriously. I typically head that response, and each time when my worries are disregarded, I think again whether my worries are warranted or not. I also usually do a little research related to my worries when that happens. Sometimes my research and reflection points me in the direction of those that disregard me, and sometimes that work confirms my original worries and I stick to my position.
I wonder why people don't take worries seriously. Yet I know that to worry too much can get in the way of good living and good times--no one wants to worry all the time. In summary, as I move along, I'll likely share my worries with those that are more empathetic and accepting than those who disregard them. That's a plan.
