Do you know what I'm talking about?
There are some people who are always worried about everything! (most people fit into THIS category). They'll say things like:
"What if I fail the exam and not get into University!"
"What if I can't find a job after finishing school!"
"The plane is shaking [going through turbulence] am I going to die?"
"I got into a car accident last week what if I crash again???"
"How will I fight off this speeding ticket I have I'll have no money"
"I lost my job I'm going to end up in a cardboard box!"
...etc etc etc
Then there is Type 2 (the type of people I envy). These people may seem like they just don't care, but it's really just not worrying. Like if they're on a plane and it's going down, they might say "There's nothing I can do, everyone should just relax and let the pilots do their thing". Or if they're fired from a job they 'll just brush it off and say they'll "figure out a way", etc. In other words when **** hits the fan, they don't worry. Or if they do something non-traditional (quit a job when they dont have another backup), they don't worry about what might happen.
Now it's easy to say "just don't panic" but that's simply easier said than done. Is it possible to become like Type 2, or is it something more genetic? How can someone (like most people) who naturally worry about so many things have that attitude of not having so much fear?
Here is a perfect example of a Type 2 Person:
