Why do people worry about life?

I havent met anybody that understands what i mean when i ask them this. I feel like life justrepeats itself over and over. Everybody worries so much about school, so much about finding a college and finding a job. Everybody worries about making their parents proud by achieving skmething... So why is it that people worry so much about living the exact life as somebody else? Like everybody has the same dreams. Just go to college and find a job and get a house.... I just feel like this isnt something to stress over. I think life was about survival, unce upon a time. And now its simply about... Nothing.

Dont get me wrong, i have hobbies and theres things i love that i feel are worth doing. But im just saying that i want to focus more on living, having fun,(this does not mean partying, i mean exploring, an things like that) and just focus on everything , as long as it does not stress me... Why are we always so welcoming to situations that provoke stress?

    People who are always voicing their concerns about life are those who are "worried" about life. People like you don't talk about it because there isn't anything to say. It might seem like everyone else is worried, but actually you only hear from those who are. Your view on life is fine, don't worry about others. Some people like to stress, it gives them something to do and look "important."

    I totes agree! People need to stop stressing and start living. Its hard to stop stressing with things that make you stress too much and grade schools are giving too much homework these days :P the media shows stuff that makes you feel ugly/fat/unfit/gross/NEGATIVE WORDS so that you do stress which is good for money. Money is the big issue. :P Well i try to take control of my stress but i have social anxiety and I'm not even going to begin.... People have things to stress over :P
