So, your caution is again called suspicious. You yourself realize that you fear too much in your life. Excessive caution and doubts, even in small things, often interfere with achieving goals and impoverish life. How to overcome suspiciousness?
Instructions
Step 1
A tendency to make pessimistic guesses and expect the worst is a sign of well-developed critical thinking. It means that everything is more than good with your intellect. Only grief … from this mind.
Suspiciousness is of two types: associated with people and with things. The first variety is more common. But both are equally unpleasant for a suspicious person and his entourage. In case of suspiciousness in relations with people, a person breaks away from reality and builds hypotheses and complex versions of the reactions of others, and for what has already happened, the most complex mental structures are generally involved. For example, the boss didn't say hello in the morning and walked by, frowning. A suspicious person will immediately decide that Petrov was talking to the boss about something, because yesterday Petrov somehow smiled wryly in the evening before leaving. But in fact, the boss just has a heartache or he had a fight with his wife, and she went to her mother.
Step 2
To overcome this kind of suspiciousness, teach yourself how to stop thinking in an unnecessary direction by switching. To do this, you need to switch from thinking about relationships to thinking about work, about complex projects. To do this, always carry a notebook with you that contains tasks that you would like to think about at your leisure. Leisure will be exactly the moment when you are overcome by thoughts of a bad attitude from the leader. The boss will treat you better if you can present him with excellent projects, because suspicious people are good at inventing. If personal relationships are a concern, then success at work will also help improve relationships, so be creative in your notebook for health.
Step 3
If suspiciousness concerns the world of things, that is, you fear that something unpleasant will happen not in connection with relationships, but simply according to the laws of the material world, then to reduce anxiety, give yourself the right to make mistakes, and also continue to collect information and increase your competence. Sometimes the attentiveness of a suspicious person makes it possible to notice the subtlest patterns in the development of society, the material world. Rene Descartes urged you to doubt everything, and you don't even need to force yourself.
Step 4
The biggest danger for a suspicious person is precisely in isolation from reality, so try to get as much information as possible about the world and, reasoning logically, discard incorrect hypotheses. And then you can actually navigate better than those around you.
