The worrying for something fictional.
The downside dramatised.
It hasn’t happened yet.
And it may not happen at all (it regularly doesn’t).
Yet we’re acting as if it will, or has, happened.
It’s an imagined outcome.
Stop worrying about stuff that hasn’t happened yet.
“There are more things, Lucilius, likely to frighten us than there are to crush us; we suffer more often in imagination than in reality.” – Seneca
“Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems.” – Epictetus
