It’s not easy to be happy. We all know that. But when your default setting is to always think of everything with a way too serious frame of mind, dealing with things going otherwise can be a really really difficult task. Whether we like it or not some of us have a way too serious view of the world around us. Here are 10 signs you are paranoid about every damn thing in life!
1. Every time there’s a big day coming up for you like an interview or a presentation you assume the worst is going to happen to you.
