You worry about your future self in the same way you might worry about a 5 year old getting behind the wheel of a car. You think " This Connor end well!" This creates a feedback loop from Hell. Your anxiety makes you believe that you can't be trusted to solve problems, so, you avoid problems, which leads to not solving them, which confirms your theory that you can't be trusted, which increases your anxiety! The cure to this kind of long-term self loathing anxiety is to get managiythings. It's about breaking the cycle by taking on "impossible" problems, activity and physically. It's about taking risks, making bold decisions, and getting shit done, in order to prove to your brain you'll be able to handle things, even if they go wrong!
@elonmusk And unlike conspiracy theories, most of the anxiety ones aren't true.
This is what @grok thinks about that. That's an interesting way to look at anxiety! It's like your brain is creating these elaborate, worst-case scenarios and convincing you that they're true. Kind of like your own personal conspiracy theorist. But remember, just like most conspiracy theories, these anxious thoughts are often not grounded in reality. So, take a deep breath, question the evidence, and try to focus on the facts.
