How should one respond to being told...”I worry about you?” Should they be worried? Why would they be worried? If there is nothing to be worried about, must they be asked, “why they are worried?” It is a change in behavior or maybe no change in behavior that is so worrisome? Showing emotion? Not showing emotion? This is very important and much more than you may want to think because worrying about someone is vastly different from caring about them. Worry denotes deficiency, a lack of ability, negativity, it is judgmental. Caring about someone denotes you love them and see them struggling and you want to help and support them.
Here’s the thing if you keep the behavior unchanged … the behavior that causes people to worry about you becomes the source of more worries. Aren’t we all to be worried about in such times. Is reassuring them there is nothing to worry about the route to go. Why worry now? Lose your temper? Sob? Take charge? Ask the same question back at them, to potentially make them question themselves?
However, when something is really wrong and worrying is needed there will not be any need for concern because nothing is different about you.
It simply means that there are things we must do when we have people in our lives who care about us...worry about us, by worrying about their worrying, about us!
We still have a long way to go to get to a destination of “normal...a worry less state.”

I had a meeting with my boss and she kept telling me...”I worry about you.” I know I have been struggling as a leader during this pandemic, but her worry stems from the fact that I cannot keep up—14 hour days, 7 days a week for 8 months is hard. It wears on your mind, body and soul!

Hym "DO NOT FORGET... To count the number of kids that die... And plaster that motherfucker on your forehead. You got a lot of room and the parents are going to need to know exactly who to kill. What you are doing there is the wrong response to what I'm going here. 'Don't worry, we're going to kill you' he says but what happens afterwards? We cross our fingers and hope we don't get too many of our own kids murdered. That's all we can do if we ommit the only non-getting-our-own-kids-killed option.

This term is used to describe people who like to worry about anything and everything. For the most negative fatalistic pessimistic people in the world.
They worry for events that are ancient history as soon as they find out about them because that's all they know how to do in life is worry and fret and ruminate; it's so pathetic.

Hym "If you weren't trying to steal from me. You wouldn't have to worry about it. And now that you know where I am.... You're not. You are perfectly willing to sacrifice someone else's kid so that you don't have to participate in giving me the credit and the money I deserve and I'm still not seeing the ads for the META time machine or the X teleporter. There is a reason those companies have one thing and not the others. My choice, my risk created that AI and THEY are interchangeable. If the consequences of that choice are a kike stealing from me... Then there are no consequences. It's just a jew being a jew. So, I'll take my money now and if I can't get to a kid or a the money then definitely kill jew-kids."
