Women: Do we worry more than men?

Yes, I feel that I worry more then my husband does..I don't know about all men cause some can be worry warts.. but I know that I do worry about more things then my husband and he is always telling me not to worry about things and that I worry to much about things.. I talk to my husband and my mom and a friend and he grounds me most of all..

I worry quite a bit. I am legend for worrying at the doctor's office. I don't worry for my own health. I worry for my wife's health or my daughter's health. I would guess that my family is my 'touch stone' as you put it. But, because they are also what I worry about that might not be as satisfying of an answer as you might have expected.

Well I am a male and I agree that women are more stressful. I have come across many women who have tension headaches because of stress. I think, yes the social expectations is high on them and perhaps harmonal differeces do matter a bit. It very important for a male family member to understand this and share the feelings. But another fact is that women are more mentally strong which make them to overcome what ever the situation. What do you say?

I am a worrier in a big way. I worry about money alot as there is limited income in our home right now. I also worry about the relationship I have with my husband. There have been some serious issues in it the past little while and I find that I am questioning it more and more all the time. I try my best to stop and think about pleasant things, as I know that worrying about it will not make it any better. I cannot honestly say who keeps me calm. I will have to sit down and think about that one.

I just try not to dwell on the things that worry me. My husband is usually the only person I have to talk to, but he's not a very good talker. He has good intentions, but I never feel like he's being sympathetic or supportive when I talk to him. I still share my problems with him, but I've learned to just deal with them on my own.

I am a worrier I can't deny it for a minute. I am always trying to figure out ways to make things better and life easier, and how will these things ever happen. I worry more then it is healthy to do so. I just can't get things off of my mind that easily. I am the type that likes to try to fix problems and that is why I just can't shakes things that are on my mind!

I know i sure worry alot more about things than my husband does. I have dated a few guys that worried just as much as me though. they worried about diiferent things than I did though. I talk to friends online when my hubby doesn't want to talk to me or understand what i am trying to say to him. I make him listen when it comes to how I feel or finances though.

I believe that most women worry because we are the nurturers. Women hold a household to gether for the most part. (at least most of the women I know) A lot of men are very laid back and just live life, we as women feel that the quality of life for the ones we love is very important. Our reflection in society should be more than just acceptable. Yes I worry sometimes so much I keep myself up at night. What do I worry about? I worry about my 5 children although grown are they doing okay since 3 of them live out of state. I worry about everyone well being and how on earth are some people going to survive with everything falling down around them. I worry every day that hubby comes home will he still have a job. My touch stone is actually my elders that have lived through many rough times. Hubby is just to laid back and I am the opposite way. I dont want to hear dont worry everything is going to be okay because if I believe that and then it crashes down then well I am disappointed. I need someone to say well keep your head up and do the best you can and just maybe things will work out. I thrive on worrying, that is what keeps me going. I am very analitical which could be bad but I think for the most part it helps me to understand things.

I'm a total worry wort. I talk to my botfriend and one of my co-workers. It helps a lot, but I still worry.
