Do you worry so much about how you look, live, eat and so on?

I know two special persons. One is easy to please while the other one always complains life.
1 I sort of joined a karate club in my university. In the club, there was an "old boy". He was 32 years old at the time. "Seeing that you are still a student, how come you be this old?" I asked (tongue-in-cheek)."In order to take good care of my younger sister, I came to school in an older age. Also, I took college enterance exam four times.After graduation, it took another three years for me to go to postgraduate school." He said." Then, when you get your master's degree, you will be 60 years old."I said with a laugh. I think that guy is supposed to feel worried everyday. On the contrary, he is so content with his lot. "If worry will do any good, I will offer it. Nobody knows what might end up. What if I make a fortune in the future? For what it's worth, all this worry is totally unnecessary now. On the other hand, if a series of mischance happened, I would regret that I lost the best time to enjoy life on my past. "
2 My senior classmate has a pretty good job. What's more, his boyfriend worked in Mircrosoft company, Beijing, China. He treated her very very well. However, an expression of pain always flitted across her face. She even said that I didn't know why I should live or I was crushed with grief. I don't know why she has to worry. At least, life doesn't mean to be so painful for her.
All in all, worry or not worry, it doesn't depend on ...

Yeah, absolutely. I am happy that you have such an optimistic attitude. Just look the things as the starter bus stop, you know, boot camp, preparing you for something better next time.

The man has certainly come to terms with his responsibilities. Often we don't know what we are made of until we face adversity. And going through the hard times helps us realize how much we have after the proverbial storms have blown over. On the other hand, the girl you mentioned might be dealing with an emotional problem that even pre-dates her relationship with the boyfriend that treats her so well. Or perhaps she dreams for things that cannot be? I guess we all have to learn how to deal with worry. I worry about being a burden. I try to give all my worries to God, but as I am human, I often fail. I don't like asking for help, and I'm sure a lot of us don't.
For instance, I've had to go to the hospital in the middle of the night. I wasn't well enough to drive myself so I had to call my parents to come take me (an ambulance would not have been covered on my insurance and would have cost me 900 dollars). I know my dad was tired, yet he came and took me anyway. He knows I don't have much money, so he often fills my car up with gasoline, despite my protests. I don't want him to think I'm not grateful, but I never want to be a burden to them, and I never want them to think I am not very very thankful for them. They don't have a lot either, and as they get older they need to save for retirement. I just want them to have everything they need. I would love to have enough money to take care of them for the rest of their life. That would be a dream come true for me.

You can eat something healthier. Don't worry! You may look much better than you think. We just can't see ourselves clearly sometimes.

I agree with you. Something will not go to the effort that is required. So, god has already made a decision for all any of us.

I'm a kind of person who doesn't get contented with what I've have. I'm always seeking for more and because of this it challenge my life more. Even though I have everything in my life, I still asking for more. I'm still striving for the best and if I failed the more I got challenged and the more it makes me strive to be on top. Sometimes, I feel contented already if the things that I want to reach isn't that good.
Well, the only thing that I'm not easily got contented is my life especially in reaching my goals and wanting to be happy. But for others like foods, or my physical appearance, I don't get worry so much. I'll accept what God had given me and I think I won't ask for more since my boyfriend i already contented about my looks. He loves me for what I am and not my looks or what I have. I love foods and no matter how I eat so much I don't get fat. If ever I increase my weight I can easily get lose my weight for a couple of days. So, eating doesn't worry so much.

I am not satisfied with my life, yet I still feel happy most of the time. I have so many dreams that haven't become true. It doesn't mean that I can't enjoy the cliff-hanging process. Each person has his or her standard of life. I hope all any of us will get what we want sooner or later. Wish you a great success.

If I have time for worry about something, I better start doing something to change it. Worrying too much won't solve anything. I take life as it come. I made plan but not necessarily going to work. Still, I try my best. Life is so short to worry too much.

That sentence is just so classical. " Life is so short to worry too much". Thanks for your response.

Yes I am always worrying and conscious about the way I look, especially my body, I guess it's due to insecurities and rejection and not being wanted, which stems from when I was badly bullied both as a child and as a teenager, part of the reason why I go to the gym 4 times a week is that I am constantly wanting to get my body perfect! I am impatient and I am always checking myself to see if my stomach is smaller, I guess you could call it obsession in a way as well as addiction. I also worry what I eat because I am scared of getting fat again. I know this is not a healthy outlook and it's a cycle I need to snap out of and I should be happy as I am, but I am not, I hope one day I can relax and smile and say yes I am happy with who I am! I will look forward to that day if it ever arrives!

A gilr who I know suffers from acne. Also, her face was badly pock-marked. Last time, she told me that her skin was very nice. She went after a very handsome boy last month. Some people doubted she would succeed. After all, she made it. She thought they were weel-matched. Haha, anyway, everyman has his hobbyhorse. This is what comes of being over-confident. She has "princess disease". I shouldn't say it was a good thing.
You don't have to doubt your look. Some people may give you pure illusion since what they want is grass but the flower! However, you should know that everyone has a look score. Supposed that the perfect cat get 100. If a person is supposed to get 80, and he or she is very confident and holds his or her head hight, people will add awarded marks subconsciously. As a result, the one will get 90 or more. On the other hand, if he or she always keeps a very low-profile. The score will be cut lower. Now, you look good, if you go with head high and chest out, you will look better.
To be honest, I am very self-confidence and even have princess disease. Everytime, when I look myself in a mirror, I realize that I become better. Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of all. Oh my gosh, it is me. haha,just kidding

Hey hiddenwing~ I don't worry about how I look like I used to!
I am getting older now so there really isn't anything that I
can do about it anyway. The years have crept up on me and it
isn't fun looking at myself anymore. I still worry about other
things like having enough money to pay my rent, bills and
having enough money to buy food. In fact, I know that I worry
way too much and that doesn't help my looks or my health. I
am not really well either so I don't know why I continue to
do this to myself. I guess it's because I have had to struggle
all my life and I don't know any other way. I am trying to
change my ways, but it is really difficult the older you get!
So if you are still young, don't fret about things that you
have no control over! Try to enjoy the things in life that
you can while you can because life is way to short and time
goes by really fast!

You always speak in a rational way. I admire the sentence, "try to enhoy the things in life that you can while you can because life is way too short and time goes by really fast!" Yes, I will bear this in mind. Thank you very much!

No, I don't worry so much about my looks, my lifestyle, etc. I just live life everyday and enjoy it as we ought to. Worries will only drag us down and are totally unnecessary. I always balance my lifestyle so that I would get to enjoy it. At the same time, my lifestyle need not be harmful to me or my health at all. As for my looks, everybody gets older and fatter as years go by. Looks are just a physical aspect. It is enough for myself to know I am not ugly. I have self-confidence but not one bordering on arrogance. I know my self-worth so I do not worry endlessly and needlessly at all.

I am more of a free spirit person. I like to live my life the way i think is best for me. People's opinions are always more than welcome for me but they do not really have any impact on the way I feel about myself, or how I look like and the least about what I eat. I tend to make lists of things that I want to do every year and if somethings gets on the way then I just embrace it and keep going on. When I was younger I used to complain to my older brother for "problems" that now just seem too ridiculous and he always got back at me with "If the problems didn't exist you would realize that life is very plain and you would be left living a very boring life". So, do not take it very close to your heart when people make any comments that might not be very pleasing, you carry on with your lifestyle. And truly is never to late to do things. I had to take a year off after high school because I didn't have the money to go to University. And the more I was criticized by people for doing that, the more I worked on it and here I am now one year left to graduate. The important thing is not to get discouraged and doubt on yourself.

Wow, I find another very classical response. By the way, your pic is very nice. A cat was typing! Wish you all the best for your study!
