Myrtle Reed Quotes

Insecurity is such a waste of time.

So perhaps the greatest worry of all was that one day you would realize that all the worries of your life amounted to one thing: the desire to just stop worrying.

If I make a wrong decision, I worry what might have been. I stress out over very insignificant things.

I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.

I've worried more and more as the years have gone on. The more you're seen to be doing well, the more stress there is. You feel you ought to consider things more, and be more fussy - there's further to fall. All these little worries.

I'm always on the worrying side.

So many people worry about something that never actually happens and you spend all your time worrying and living in fear.

I'm scared about everything. I'm an anxious worrier. I worry about the downside of everything.

I always make things worse than they are or create problems that aren't there. And going and doing some simple task becomes a problem. I start imagining problems that aren't there. What people are going to think, who's going to judge me and am I going to be good enough? Am I worthy?

I am a worrier.

I'm such a worrier.
