How to discern between Anxiety and "Don't Do It"
Posted: Wed Feb 21, 2018 1:54 pm
I want to send a text to someone today and I'm quite a bit nervous about how they'll respond or if they'll even respond at all.
I currently have it typed and set on a delay for when I know they're not in class. But as it gets closer to that time I'm questioning a little if I should or shouldn't even send it. That time is approximately 3 hours from now - it's 12:48 PM and it'll send at 3:25 PM (Central TIme) so if you see this after that it's probably already sent.
What I'm wondering though is how to tell the difference between just being anxious/nervous about something and intuition telling me not to do something? I consider myself a very nervous person - a perpetual worrier if you will. I often try and talk myself out of things I'm scared to do. But I WANT to send this text. I feel good about how I worded it and everything. I feel actually pretty good about it in general. But there's a teeny tiny part of me that thinks I shouldn't send it and I am curious if it's just me being anxious about it because it could potentially turn out badly, or if it's more than that and I really should consider not sending it.
