How do you deal with uncertainty?

View all responses

I deal with uncertainty the same way I deal with every problem that stresses me out. I get mad and throw a hissy fit at first. Admittingly I have trouble thinking rationally in a lot of aspects of my life. Following this I reach out to mom. The problem is that since the uncertainty resulted in a hissy fit, normally she will get mad at me over it and sometimes even refuse to help me not because she is unable to but because she feels I don’t deserve her help if I’m going to act like a child when I’m a man in his mid 30’s. For those of you who are wondering, I just had my 36th birthday today. If nobody else my age acts like this when they’re unsure of something, mom feels like I shouldn’t either.
