Continuing to read will eventually get your question about ‘Why is uncertainty so stressful’ answered.
Why Is Uncertainty So Stressful?
- It makes us feel less capable of coping with negative events when they happen
- The unknown is often considered scary
- Because it’s part of life – and that’s enough stress
- Fear of emptiness
Feeling Less Capable
Not feeling capable to handle the unexpected makes whatever scenario significantly more scary as a result. Most areas where people get stuck to where it’s detrimental is when a healthy coping mechanism isn’t explored yet. There’s a solid chance you’re just feeling an inferiority complex too. I immediately paralleled it with an imposter syndrome diagnosis but even that might not be right. If you genuinely don’t have a reason to feel secure then it’s perfectly understandable as to why lack of preparation can be stressful.
