why is it - when everything goes fine you become scared?

its a natural feeling for me that whenever i witnessed consecutive occurrence of good things to me or for me i started getting a feeling that now its the turn of something bad to occur.
i thought of this many a times but i never find the reason for it.may be its my mind that tells me that "too much good things is not always a good sign and that when you are about to loose something you have good times".
this are the things that happens to me and though i should be happy and enjoy the moment, i have all different kinds of thoughts going on inside my head asking what next.

I know how you feel because i have the same thoughts ,when something good is happening i am waiting for the worse. I do not know why is this happening, maybe because bad things are more often in life than good things.

may be our mind is an expert of retaining the bad memories than the good ones. we human are actually scared of being "hurt" or harmed" . we fear the "fear of being ditched by our fate and destiny" may be that is why our mind got automatically trained by such kind of feelings !!

yes, and some people in my country are superstituous about it and say that after a good thing a bad follows or if 2 bad things happen to you then you should expect a 3rd one to complete the circle...

Unfortunately that's how I sometimes think too. Maybe I am (and you as well) a bit pessimistic. I always try not to be. But there are circumstances that has happened before not only once or twice that made me become one. So sometimes it comes to my mind. Sometimes I just try not to expect good or bad to happen, less expectation on things is better.

Probably because we are trained to be anxious by the consumer society that surrounds us. Our culture is designed to keep us "on edge" for the plain and simple reason that happy people don't spend money.
Relax and enjoy your happiness and stop waiting for something to go wrong.

you know what, i usually has the same feelings. when ever we get very much happy, its turns to a bad color sudenly. in all my life every one keeps telling me that. but the trueth is its wrong. in every ones life all are expecting for haooiness only. so when ever we get more of it we get out of control. it causes lake of concentration for our surroundings,or current issues that we are facing. tihs is what causes the sudden color change. being happy is every ones dream. but stay in control on these situatonss is very critical. "over confidence is not good" what we all hear about. like that too much of anything and every thing is not good also. even though i suggest that you must enjoy every situation very happiy, but stay in shape. cause life is short and happinessand sadness are alll part of it. so without worring too much about the future enjoy every moment of it very well.
