Worrying is Okay if what you are worrying about is worth the worry. Worrying is Okay if you can find the balance between healthy worrying and unhealthy worrying!There is a thin line between acting on your worries and becoming a neurotic mess. When worrying prompts you to make plans for your current situation like to go and see a doctor if you are worried about your health, to go to the gym or eat less if you are worried about your weight, to budget your income and check your spendings if you are worried about your finances,then your worrying is healthy because it prompted you to act on what you are worrying about.

If you are a persistent worrier, you worry about every situation including situations that you can do nothing about like you worry about getting older, you worry about whether your boss or collegues at work likes you or not, then you are on your way to being a neurotic mess because whether you worry about getting older or not you will definitely get older,everyone does with time and it's of no use worrying about whether your boss or collegues at work likes you,because we can't really control how people should feel about us.
