>I just find it important to think in worst-case scenarios for various reasons

That's the key point. I think about the worst-case scenario as well, it is important. But as long as it does not kill me or leaves me with lifetime super negative impact, I am not spending too much time on it, because it is an inefficient use of my time and brain bandwidth.

The reason is that statistically things turn out fine, usually not perfect but 99.9% not worst case. And most of worse case scenarios are avoided _not_ because _I_ considered and avoided them. Differently said, even if you start with 5 potential really bad outcomes, after a short while 2 or 3 become irrelevant anyway because circumstances.

Being ready for the lucky and positive upside is more efficient in the long run in my experience, and much more pleasant along the way.

It feels like a superpower to me to be positive when I look at all these sad and negative people who don't even realize how much _they_ are hurting themselves, not the circumstances around them.

Oh, I'M not negatively affected by always thinking about worst-case scenarios. It's the people AROUND me who are negatively affected. That's the issue. If I stopped thinking about worst-case scenarios, they would be so much happier talking with me. Natural version of me is like, "screw that."
