Oh boy.. Cool question! For me it depends on the uncertainty.. I love change and I love the uncertainty that comes with change.. The only uncertainty I don’t seem to be that comfortable with has to do with the love of a partner (in fact, that kind of uncertaintly has the ability to drive me insane!)
Perhaps I have had too much in my life to truly grasp the concept of uncertainty – I go through periods where I am in limbo and think hmmm then I kinda give it up the Puppet Master and go “right then guess I’m not in control take me to where you want me to go” 80% of the time I like to think that I have faith in my destiny and 20% of the time I shit myself plain and simple
It’s something I’ve had to work on, trying to get comfortable with a fuzzy future, for example, but in general I HATE IT. I need some kind of solid ground to stand on.
I’m with you Elena. HATE IT!
I HATE IT! It’s the same as anticipation for me. An uneasy feeling, I don’t do well with. I should be used to it by now but I’m not so chances are I never will be.
I don’t know, ask me tomorrow . . . .
Actually, I’m pretty good with it. I tend to be a “responsible” person, but sometimes that responsibility weighs ya down. If you have no idea what’s about to happen, you don’t have to put a lot of thought into getting through it; you just turn on your brains and muscles and grit and dive in.
Then afterwards you look back and say, dang, I just got through all that and I’m still standing . . . I must be Wonder Woman . . . now get me a cup of coffee NOW!!
I tend to just roll with the punches. To me it is not worth the anxiety to worry over things that I can’t control. My husband is the total opposite of me!
Very uncomfortable due to my type A personality. I just wanna know everything!
I feel we do not know what everyday will bring, so I am always ready for whatever! I do the best I can with what I am dealt with in life!
I guess this falls into the category of “Do you worry about things you have no control over?”
I certainly don’t think I have that problem.
PS: HEY! Looks like it’s warming up there. You are in the plus column today!
Joy, it is warmer at your house today than mine…….. I think last I knew we were at 1 degree…..
It has improved, my comfort level with uncertainty. I am a planner by nature, so I would need to have things in place months in advance. I have become more comfortable just letting things be, and as a result I feel less tension in my belly, and can just enjoy life more!!!
Ahhh, I think I can handle moderate uncertainty, but when it comes to health stuff I tend to get a little wigged out. You always think the worst first and that doesn’t help you relax about it!
Depending on the area of life, it varies..I thrive on it (work) and stresses me out (w/kids) interesting question
I just shrug these days… yep thats my life. The only consistent in life is change.
