Absorbing mays is dangerous stuff you need to be cautious about

Like I do feel worry on some level sometimes when things are immediate enough for my brain to grasp them, and thatās when the actual mindset stuff comes in.
There is nothing to do but my best. If I can change it, then I will do that. If I canāt change it, no need to worry.
If it gets really bad, I just take the worst case scenario, pretend it has already happened, and then plan out for it. And then it doesnāt feel foreign and scary. In middle school Iād go āokay, well what if my parents find out Iām gay and kick me out of the house even though thereās no evidence that would happen. Well I have friends online I could ask around for spare rooms with my phone or a library computer. I could ask a neighbour to drive me to the bus stop so I could get there.ā etc etc et al and once Iām in the scenario and know what Iād do I donāt fear it. Because you canāt fear the present

My theory is my brain has compensated for this like brains are good at

Like when I look at one thing I can only look at it with one eye my other eye is doing something else which allows me to switch eyes itās funny but I donāt see any difference with covering an eye so itās probably an illusion and thatās how I see depth because my mind is compedanting

Thereās no absolute failure state except being dead, and if youāre dead you arenāt conscious to know youāve failed. If youāre not dead and youāre not inmediately about to be dead then everything is fine. And there are very few scenarios, no matter what your brain tells you, where you are immediately about to be dead

if I close one eye and donāt move my head, nothing
but if I look at new stuff (with one eye still closed), everything looks closer than it actually is
