I'm not going to change these people, so why get uptight about it? I should take a pill. Maybe.
I remembered something else I'd change about me. I become strangely obsessive sometimes about things I can't change or have no control over. For example, I don't like to fly because I can't see where the plane is going (seriously). If I'm in car with other people, I have to be the one driving because if I don't I get uptight about how the driver is doing (unless its with people I know and trust).
During my wife's pregnancy, I remember losing sleep at night over standard lab tests for common infant diseases (everything turned out fine). I had to take an HIV test for life insurance once and it freaked me the hell out even though I'm not in any risk catagory and I had no reason to worry. (again, all fine)
I wish I can just accept that certain things are just beyond my control.
