My sister is worrying about someone she knew who has lost her job recently. But she should not bother too much because we ourselves don't have work for years and she does not feel pity over our situation and why worry or pity or have the time to think of the conditions of other people. They are much better off than us as they just recently lost a job and have made lots of money already. So I don't think they are going poor or or in worse conditions than us.

For me caring and being worried is two different thing. I want her to care for people but worrying doesn't accomplish anything but make people get tired listening to stories of the things she worried about. I am quite annoyed she keeps complaining how many things she has to do, how the food taste bland, she just has so complaints that I want her to be flexible in situation and not just keep on babbling these things
My point is that I just do what I can to help but if I can't do anything why worry. Worrying won't change the situation. Like if the food taste bland I would do something about it and not complain and say a lot of things just because I hate the food and look for someone to blame. And up to now she is complaining about other things. This thing would go on the whole day.

I do think that you're right to say that you shouldn't worry about other people's lives, but I am one of those people who just can't help but worry about my friends when they are in any kind of trouble. I have actually been known to get myself in trouble before for getting involved way too much, but there isn't really all that much that I am able to do about it because when I care about someone I just have to get to the bottom of why there is something wrong with them, and whether there is anything that I can do about it.

yes, that's right, a lot of us tend to think much about other people and their lives instead of looking and minding our own and this can cause stress and can affect us more negatively. i think the best thing to do is to leave other people's lives to themselves because they have their own way and it is their way of living and dealing with it. it is normal for us to get affected with the situation of other people but we should more importantly we must learn to focus more on how we can better ourselves and our lives because we are in charge and in control on it. how we do with it, the outcome depends on us. if we want to live a happy and better life, nobody can do it for us but us.

Different people have different opinions on certain things. In my opinion you are the type of person who don't give so much attention on other person. And your sister seem to think or care about her friends. But in my opinion, I think you are somewhat sad about your present situation. Cheer up and try to think of the best solution for your problems. have a nice day!:)

I respect how you feel. But I understand your sister. I think its good that she still cares for somebody else even she her own is less. Maybe she's more looking forward to her aims in life than you being so worried. Dont misunderstood. I suggest you to think more positive and always look at the bright side.

I used to not worry about other people lives actually. I just worry and mind my own, until I came to know Jesus more and then I see the needs of people around me. I now learn how to help those in need even if I myself is in need too. I now learn how to care more of others than myself. I do love myself too and from time to time enjoys good life :)
