How do you draw the line between caring too much and not caring at all? A lot of my anxiety stems from trying to control, understand, and predict everything, and I feel like caring about everything is like having an emotional boulder crushing me. To the point where I'm developing psychosomatic anxiety symptoms such as a constant tight throat, dread, and derealization. I know my problems would be solved if I stopped caring too much, but I don't want to become a callous emotionless robot in the process. What is a good line to draw?
The line is about focusing on what you can control and letting go of what you can't. Care about the things that matter most, but don’t try to control everything. It’s about setting boundaries, being present, and practicing self-compassion. You don’t need to stop caring; just care in a way that doesn’t overwhelm you.
>>32608486That's good advice. It's one of those things I recognize logically, but it's hard to commit myself to emotionally. But just hearing someone else say it makes it easier to believe. Thank you for replying.
